Critic Reviews

"A rollicking ride of a magical tale that's wholesomely suspenseful, values friendship, and applauds courage. (School Library Journal)

"The magic-themed tale reinforces the power of friendship and adventure." (Red Tricycle)

Beautifully mysterious

I think that the only thing wrong with it is the narrator. I get that its supposed to represent one of the characters, but it really isn’t the greatest. Other than that, it made me really *sniff* sad when this came to a final ending.

OMG!! I just HAVE to say this

I'm a HUGE fan of The magic Misfits, and this like all the other ones, is INCREDIBLE! The Narrator is so good, I could listen to her all day. The story, the story is amazing 😍 Stakes are really rased! I wanna reveal a spoiler with Carter, But that would be big one. I guess if you wanna find out, you'd have to buy it and find out. I really recommend. Just make sure you've listened or read the other books first.
ALSO! I THINK I WROTE THE FIRST REVIEW! 😄PS, good for kidz. Cuz, I AM a kid. (I also had the first rating! The book came out today)

Don't enjoy this narrator

My kids and I have loved this book series. But this narrator's interpretation of Izzy and Ollie's voice in particular is painful to listen to. It's really making it difficult to continue listening to this story.

Amazing!

I loved it! It was a amazing book! I couldn’t stop reading until the end!

Oof, narration

The other three books had solid narrators. This last one is a struggle to get through, honestly. It seems like the story is on par with the others but I am not enjoying it nearly as much. The clear intention of being representative for all four points of view on these stories is great, unfortunately the narrator chosen is just not up to par. A shame, because the series itself is very cute.

Ear Piercing Narration

The story was ok. It was along the same line as the previous books. The narration was horrific. Even my kids complained about how terrible it was. I am generally not picky on narrator but this was so bad. We made it through (mostly because we were invested after listening to three books already) but it wasn't pleasant. Even without considering the atrocious voices, I do not feel this was priced fairly. These are such short stories, including a lot of filler in the magic tricks teaching, just not worth the credit.

I Love this book

I freakin loved this

I have no words but that I really really really really really love this book

Good story. Terrible voice performance.

This was a good conclusion, although there's still an unanswered question or two about Carter. The narrator's performance, however, is the worst of the series. I liked her version of Ridley, but the rest of the voices she did were sometimes borderline unbearable. I had to stop listening a few times to take a break from it.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this series a lot. I thought the way the whole series came together was great. The lessons learned by the Magic Misfits are great ones to be learned by all. The fun and friendship the kids have and experience is felt by the reader. Kids that are reading should feel like they are part of the friendship.

There was a good amount of action. The story as a whole felt complete with a lot of great lessons.

The challenges I had with this book were more with the reader. Ollie and Allie sounded way younger than they did in the earlier books. I missed Theo's accent.
