The Vexed Generation

Teenagers Mattie and Brewster Banks have always known their parents were a little unusual, but the arrival of a man in a bathrobe who freezes their parents solid forces a rapid reassessment. The twins set off to unravel the truth about their family and find themselves navigating magic, time travel, and a dirigible that is definitely not a blimp. Scott Meyer's signature humor runs throughout this sixth Magic 2.0 entry, and the story works equally well as a standalone adventure and as a send-up of the chosen-one narrative.

Luke Daniels has been the voice of the Magic 2.0 series from the beginning, and his comedic timing is as sharp as ever. He handles the teenage perspective credibly without condescension, and the rapport between the twins comes through naturally in his delivery. Fans who have followed the series will appreciate how Daniels threads continuity through what is essentially a next-generation story.
