Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris meets Disney's Hocus Pocus in this rollicking illustrated middle grade novel about two aspiring magicians who stumble upon real magic in their small town.
Best friends Duncan Reyes and Emma Gilbert want to be as great as Harry Houdini someday. But when they discover that their neighborhood witch is more than just a local legend, their dreams of stardom quickly turn into a nightmare.
After they (accidentally) steal the witch's magic wand, the duo uses it to put on an impossible new act--which draws even more dangerous foes to town in search of their secret. How are these two friends supposed to defeat the powerful dark forces threatening their town Well, it may just take some sleight-of-hand, a bit of magic...and (allegedly) a little destruction of public property.
The Magicians of Elephant County is told through alternating chapters of Duncan's and Emma's hilarious witness testimony--and is paired with full-page artwork of evidence--as local police try to expose the truth about what really happened in Elephant County.
Perfect for fans of Natalie Lloyd, Tom Angleberger, and Chris Grabenstein, this debut novel is sure to dazzle young readers and deliver one surprise after another like only the best magic tricks can!
Ages 8-12.
"Amateur magicians Duncan and Emma are forced to come clean to police about their involvement in their small town's biggest disaster, which all started when they discovered that legends about the local witch might actually be true"-- Provided by publisher.
