Theo Stein-Meyer loves being part of the Magic Misfits. Armed with his trusty violin bow, he completes the team with his levitation skills, unflappable calm, and proper manners. But when a girl named Emily begins to spend time with the group and the other Misfits grow suspicious, Theo is surprisingly drawn to her. She seems to understand the pull he feels between music and magic, family and friends.
Then a famous ventriloquist arrives in town, and the Misfits are sure he (and his creepy dummy Daniel) are up to no good. With their mentor, Mr. Vernon, suddenly called away and tension simmering among the friends, will they be able to come together to stop this newest member of the mysterious Emerald Ring? It's time for Theo to make a choice about where — and with whom — he belongs.
Join the Magic Misfits as they discover adventure, friendship, and more than a few hidden secrets in this unique and surprising series. Whether you're a long-time expert at illusion or simply a new fan of stage magic, hold on to your top hat!

Grades 3-5 Mineral Wells continues to be a hotbed of criminal activity, as vengeful Kalagan targets his hometown with yet another plot?this time with the Magic Misfits as its intended victims. This third mystery unfolds from talented violinist and levitator Theo's perspective and touches on themes of individuality, camaraderie, and family. The Misfits' rehearsals for the annual talent show aren't going smoothly, and they only worsen when someone begins sowing discord among the group of friends. All signs point to a visiting ventriloquist, who may be another former member of Kalagan and Dante Vernon's (Misfit Leila's father) magician crew. As personal tensions grow among the Misfits, Theo also contends with pressure from his family to focus more on music, as well as the fluttering confusion of a first crush. Series fans will welcome the insight into Theo's life, in addition to a revelation about Kalagan and Mr. Vernon's falling out. Illustrations and magic trick tutorials help break up the story's fraught moments as the Misfits puzzle out their latest case and endeavor to save their friendships.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
