The Magic Misfits: The Fourth Suit
Neil Patrick Harris · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Neil Patrick Harris and Ali Stroker
73/100
👍 Worth It
A satisfying, good-hearted finale to Neil Patrick Harris's magic-trick series, with real magic tutorials woven into the mystery and a nice balance of humor, suspense, and heart. It's best enjoyed by kids who've already met this crew in the earlier three books rather than as a standalone. Harris and Ali Stroker narrating together is a genuine draw and worth the listen.

🎙 Narration: good Dual-narrated by author Neil Patrick Harris and Ali Stroker; SLJ praised the book's balance of humor and sensitivity, though that praise centers on the story more than a specific vocal-performance critique.
