Night Magick

De: Suri Rosen

Narrado por: Josh Gad

Cole Balek is a liar.

Okay, not really. He just makes you think he’s sawing someone in half or that he’s trapped in a trunk. All Cole wants is to continue the love of magic that he and his late father shared by becoming the best tween magician in the Las Vegas area.

But when Cole and his mother get a mysterious note from a rare book collector, he’s forced to search among his father’s belongings for A Lesson in Magick, an old book of spells connected to an ancient group of magickers. What he finds instead are a series of coded clues his dad left for him - clues that send Cole and his best friends Ethan and Sanchez on a wild scavenger hunt throughout Las Vegas, in search of A Lesson in Magick. Cole must use every hack and magic trick he’s got, because he knows that if the book falls into the wrong hands, disaster will strike.

As danger mounts, who can this clever, funny, and determined group of friends really trust in a world filled with professional magicians, strange professors, and scary Elvis impersonators?

An epic scavenger hunt across Las Vegas

Cole and his mother are living in Las Vegas, trying to make it through life and heal from the death of his father. One day, Cole's mother gets a letter from a rare bookseller who is interested in a book that his father owned. When Cole begins going through his father's things to find the book, he doesn't find the book. What he finds instead is a clue. This clue starts Cole and his friends on a scavenger hunt that has them traveling back and forth across the city of Las Vegas in the hopes of finding where his father hid the book.

Unfortunately, the scavenger hunt is not without its dangers. Very quickly, Cole notices that he's being followed, and an early run-in with several Elvis impersonators shakes up Cole and impresses upon him the true level of danger involved in this hunt. Not only that, but with everything happening, Cole is having trouble figuring out who he can trust.

This was such a fun listen! The clues that Cole was following really illustrated the depth of relationship he had with his father and how much fun they had working on illusions to perform. The number of misdirections had my poor brain spinning at times, but it was still really fun to listen to Cole work through all the clues. If you like mysteries or scavenger hunts, I definitely encourage you to listen to this audiobook.

Elvis and Dolly's

Love the concept that Las Vegas is the magic capital of the US - I think I hit my forehead with a "doh" because why didn't I think of that before!! It's like the baby cousin of Hogwarts but no witches or warlocks. And underneath the mystery and comical friends (they may grow up to be in "The Hangover" yet...) there are heartwarming father-son moments. I will never look at Elvis impersonators the same way again, giggle!!

I forgot that Josh Gad was the celebrity narrator - kudos on his delivery.

Teen Loved

My son found this story gripping, we normally listen in the car but for this one he had to listen on Alexa inside once we were home!
I originally downloaded this story for two reasons, one I have a little crush on Josh Gad!!! Two, I went to college in Vegas and feel nostalgic. But when my middle school son started to relate the characters to himself and his friends he was 100% invested and it was a great time! I do however wish that we could purchase it in print as well.

AWESOME MAGICAL FUNNY

Kids loved it. When I ask them why they get super excited. they have heard this audible book about 5 times.

phenomenal read

the young man was brave and did everything his dad wanted him to do. ended was surprisingly spectacular.

Josh gad amazed!

Man i thought i loved him voicing olaf in “frozen” but Gad waa amazing!! Story was so good and cryptic! Great listen!!

Fun

Obviously directed at a younger audience, but the story was decent and fun to listen to. Good way to take your mind off things.

narrator was amazing!

Story was good especially if you enjoy magicians and are familiar with Las Vegas. I was interested in the story but having Josh Gad as the narrator cinched my decision to listen. He made the story come alive. There was just the right amount of suspense but not a lot of surprises as the story was predictable (for an adult, probably not for kids, the intended audience). Listened to see if it would interest students at my school and I would like to purchase it for the school library.

Very entertaining

It’s very entertaining and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat. The only criticism I have is it the writer uses a lot of very labored metaphors but other than that I enjoyed it very much. Josh Gad What is the perfect narrator.
