About the author

I've been a misfit all my life. I have enough dyslexia that left and right occasionally don't exist, and I have a long history with ADD, bullying (receiving end), and social anxiety. I grew up in Pennsylvania and now reside outside Boston, Massachusetts. After attending six different colleges and studying many subjects (English composition, art, electronics, computer science, psychology), I earned a B.S. in Psychology from Framingham State University and, later in life, an M.A. in Human Relations, Specializing in Holistic Counseling Psychology from Lesley University (psychology is one of my passions).
I don't write for any specific age, but I'm young at heart, so my books are pure escapism wrapped up in lots of bantering and humor. I'm delighted that my readers range from 4th graders to mature adults. There are several reasons for this. First of all, I write meaningful books with a clear message and theme. Secondly, my love of psychology results in my books often dealing with deeper concepts and presenting sophisticated views of the internal worlds of humans. At the same time, my love of exciting, unique, and atmospheric stories keeps them fun and engaging. So, there is a lot in there for readers young and old.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024This second book in the series was even better than the first! I love the characters even more. They are so colorful and fun! Nice little twist i didnt see coming in this. The best part of these books besides the fantasy is the characters and thier personalities and how they interact. How can you not absolutely adore Goff?? And laugh out loud at Lydia and Halstrom pinging off eachother constantly🤣 I have read both books at least 3 times and it never gets old. I also bought the audio book which i enjoy so much! What wonderful books to take you away from this world for a little while and be a part of thier magic.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024Goff continues his adventures with his two sidekicks, Halstrom and Lydia. On top of keeping his grades high at school, he fights against an evil scheme to resurrect this world’s version of the Dark Lord. Goff’s magical realm portrays a darker version compared to Harry Potter.
Pros:
1. The book cover is fantastic.
2. The illustrations are a splendid addition to this book.
3. Creative story.
4. Vivid descriptions.
5. Fred Gracely is a talented writer.
6. High-quality novel.
7. Great for YA enthusiasts.
Cons:
1. I had to force myself to continue reading to finish it.
2. Unrealistic ending.
3. No desire to re-read it in the future.
4. Bones and Maxim.
5. The editing could be better.
I received an advance review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024I'm a huge fan of the Misfits Magic series. The plot is engaging and the characters are well developed. This IS NOT just a knockoff of Harry Potter by any means, but is its own exciting story. You will want to keep reading to find out what Goff does. This book isn't just for kids or young adults, its great for all ages. Definitely put this series on your reading list for 2024.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024A second installment of adventures. ☺️
I didn't want it to end, but at the same time, I was quickly reading to see how it turns out.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024This ragtag bunch of friends can find more trouble than imaginable. Cute story and best of all evil is crushed once again. I highly recommend this series for all ages.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2023What worked:
The opening scene offers an effective hook as Goff awakens from a horrible dream that seems like more of a premonition. He sees a mysterious “mosaic man” making plans with a gargoyle and saying the kids got lucky last year. They won’t be a problem this time. This vision really shakes up Goff and will immediately create tension for readers. His school life is complicated when Goff discovers some entitled classmates acting suspiciously and he fears magic is making its way back into his life. However, he’s sent off on a secret mission with his “team” before he can fully investigate the terrible thing brewing on the school’s campus. Much of the plot takes place across the world where Goff uncovers a nefarious plan of dark magic that spans generations.
Goff’s team mostly consists of his roommate Halstrom and a loyal friend named Lydia. Halstrom contributes humor to the story through his overly literal, analytical mind. Ironically, one of his first funny scenes comes when he tries to get Lydia to understand that she’s using the word literally incorrectly. Lydia isn’t so concerned with details but the author introduces a twist to her character. Something unexpected happens when Goff is hit with a blast of dark magic in the first book that has a game-changing effect on Lydia. Curiously, Goff lived with foster siblings named Ben and Pam, who enjoyed bullying him in the previous book, but Pam has now become an ally and Halstrom’s girlfriend. Pam and Ben become key factors in the plot but for totally unexpected reasons.
The concept of magic comes in various forms and sources. Goff is separated from his magic but that may be confusing for readers. He’s still able to connect with elements of nature and use the connections to perform “magical” deeds but this isn’t considered magic in the context of the story. The plot also includes things called nexi that help Goff, Lydia, and Halstrom with their magical shortcomings. Goff’s feelings about these small balls of light and their helpful actions actually boost them to the level of friendly characters. The evil characters perform traditional magic spells with sacrificial offerings and group chanting. Human sacrifice is not out of the question which amplifies the suspense.
What didn’t work as well:
The story makes a big point of describing how Goff lost his connection with magic however he’s still able to manipulate nature. I’m not able to reconcile the idea in my mind that Goff’s connection to nature isn’t considered magic. That inconsistency doesn’t work as well but most readers can probably disregard this concern.
The final verdict:
It’s not required that you read the first book but it wouldn’t hurt. Goff’s insecurities about being a leader and his loss of magic make him more endearing and add drama to the story. The whole conflict boils down to a resurrected battle between Goff and an ultimate evil and I recommend you give it a shot.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024I love this book for kids in elementary, it’s exactly the kind of book I loved reading as a kid. I’m so glad these innovative, fun stories are still coming out for young ones! I hope this gets in more school libraries throughout the country, I can’t imagine a more perfect audience.
