About this listen

Pursued by the bullying Eddie, the timid Russell Crannaker stumbles into Mr. Elives' magic shop, where he buys a mysterious ring that allows him to become a monster. But has he become too bold?

What exactly is the ring doing to him? And what price will he have to pay if he fails to follow the directions? This full cast recording, narrated by Bruce Coville himself, perfectly captures the frightfully funny, deliciously scary story that launched the highly acclaimed Magic Shop series.

Editorial reviews

This full-cast production of the first book in Bruce Coville's Magic Shop series coincides with the re-release of these books in new hardcover editions. As narrator, Coville's voice is infused with mystery and fun as he tells the story of Russell Crannaker, a shy boy plagued by the class bully until the day he stumbles on Mr. Elives's magic shop and buys the monster's ring, a ring that transforms him physically and, with both good and bad results, mentally. The cast of characters play their parts well, particularly main character Russell, as he transforms from fearful and nervous to more confident and sure, and his nemesis, Eddie, as he takes the opposite path. Fast paced and full of adventure, this production is sure to please.

I own this book in a hard copy, I bought it at a book fair when I was in middle school. My mom now reads it to her first graders. It's office appropriate, light hearted, and even just a little spooky. If you have kids who like scary things, but you aren't ready to let them read things like Stephen King or R.L. Stein this is a perfect starter. It's even entertaining to adults in offices.

PERFECT HALLOWEEN BOOK FOR KIDS

The first time I read this was years ago when I was in 2nd grade. For years, I couldn’t find the book and was very happy to have found it here on Audible and I’m not embarrassed to still enjoy listening to it to this very day. And the performance is great! I love the full cast. Great job everyone!

I still love this story as an adult.

It was a good book for my teenage son and my daughter to listen to on Halloween. My teenage son forgot the title of this book and finally he found the book again! I am so glad that we have books to listen to for any occasion!
It is also a very great crowd pleaser!

Great
