Title: For the magic within you
Review: Brian Selznick, of The Invention of Hugo Cabret fame, illustrates this earlier book with similar black-and-white pencil sketches. In this historical fiction book for middle graders, a boy who wants to become a magician has a chance encounter with the famous Harry Houdini. At the back of the book, the author has added a magic trick, additional biographical information about Houdini, and more.Written with a simple reading level and an abundance of illustrations; the interest level is probably about 3rd-4th grade.
