by Tyler Whitesides (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 16
See all formats and editions

Magic is closer than you ever thought possible in this madcap middle grade adventure perfect for fans of James Riley and Chris Grabenstein.

For Mason Mortimer Morrison, life isn’t so magical.

His dad was just sent to jail, his grades have been plummeting from meh to yikes, and, oh yeah, two officers from some organization called Magix just showed up to arrest him in the middle of fourth period.

Talk about bad luck.

Mason knows he’s innocent. But in order to clear his name, he’s going to need the help of a plucky Magix junior detective and a cantankerous talking bunny—and a little bit of magic.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4-7-Thirteen-year-old Mason Morrison is in the middle of failing his oral book report when the music box he's using as a visual aid magically transports his entire class to Antarctica. Each time Mason opens the music box, he unwittingly sends the group to far off locales until finally two agents of Magix, a secret organization overseeing magic, arrest Mason for being a wanted criminal. Mason is stunned to discover magic indeed exists and that there is video evidence of him stealing numerous magical objects. Before he can be put to trial, Mason is rescued by brilliant apprentice detective Avery Lobster. Along with a useful but grumpy white rabbit, these likable underdogs work together to clear Mason's name and uncover a much larger conspiracy that threatens the future of magic. Though light on world-building, the central premise is inventive and unique. This plot-driven story relies heavily on Mason and Avery escaping from various threats and while the fast-paced action is entertaining, it keeps them both fairly one-dimensional. This is a minor issue, as readers will celebrate the satisfying conclusion that neatly ties together several threads from the intricate plot. There is an assumed white default, as Mason‘s appearance is not described in the text while other characters, including Avery, are only described when they have traits such as brown skin and black hair. VERDICT No sleight of hand here, this enjoyable caper charms with a strong sense of camaraderie and imagination.-Sophie Kenney, Aurora P.L., ILα(c) Copyright 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative and entertaining.

Tyler Whitesides imagination runs wild in this tale of life gone wrong for one young boy. Life is not looking good for Mason Mortimer Morrison, his father's in jail for robbing a bank, his grades are terrible, and he has no friends. Things take a turn for the worst when he finds himself opening a music box that takes him and his whole class to Antarctica. Mason finds himself being arrested for using magic. As he struggles to accept that magic is real, he finds himself accused of committing a major magical crime. He knows he is innocent but he is condemned without being able to defend himself. Luckily, one person believes in his innocence. Avery, a young detective-in-training, breaks Mason out and they go on the run to find evidence to prove his innocence.

Mason and Avery quickly find that not only is the magic governing body of Magix after them but so is the Mastermind, a villain who seems to want Mason for some unknown reason. Using various magic-containing objects called boons, Avery and Mason and an obnoxious talking bunny struggle to stay ahead of those after them. With the help of Mason's friend, Hamid, and their own wits, the kids must figure out what is going on before the world of magic implodes altogether.

Whitesides imaginative tales are among my favorite books to read. He writes with such creativity and new ways of looking at things that I'm always impressed with the freshness and fun of his books. This one is no different except that it involves a mystery. The intriguing magical details and the many twists and turns makes this a read where readers will not see what is coming and are likely to be surprised by how things turn out. A perfect read for young readers who enjoy magic, humor, and great plot twists.

Loved this from start to finish! Kept me wanting to find out what was going to happen next. We bought this for our daughter for Christmas after meeting Tyler Whitesides at a book signing. I decided to read the book before wrapping it up.
