We are proud to reveal the incredible new cover for The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris, which will be released on 30 November 2017.
Do you believe in magic?
Carter doesn’t. He knows magic tricks are just that – tricks. And as a street magician he’s also pretty good at them. But then Carter runs away from his conman uncle and he finds himself alone and in danger from dastardly carnival ringleader, B.B. Bosso. He could really use some magic now…
A chance encounter with the mysterious Mr Dante Vernon leads Carter to a magic shop, where he teams up with five other like-minded kids and the MAGIC MISFITS are born! Can the gang use their magical talents to save the day and stop B.B. stealing a priceless diamond?
In The Magic Misfits, Neil Patrick Harris conjures up a magic-box of delights for children. As well as packing in adventure, fun, humour and heart, the Magic Misfits includes lots of ‘How To’ sections so readers can learn magic tricks to try at home on their own!
Farshore are now delighted to reveal the cover for this upcoming adventure, which has been beautifully illustrated by Lissy Marlin and Kyle Hilton, and has a gorgeous cover illustration by David Litchfield.
