    " Pretty good especially if you are interested in the trickery involved in stances and are interested in Henry Houdini enough to read a fictional account of him, but not enough to read his actual biography. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " I loved the language in this book! This humorous mystery tale is loaded with 1920's lingo. For example, calling a beautiful woman a "barbeque Jane." Well-written and great for kids who love mysteries! "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " This book has a good deal of humor, lots of slang from the 20's (some of which truthfully, I have to look up, I'm not really sure what they all mean) and a great mystery surrounding Houdini and his visit this young man's town. "

    " I'm always intrigued by books with Houdini as a character. . .and then I never really like them. I should be more aware of this pattern next time. "

    " Houdini, psychics, murders, and twenties-era slang. "

    " Scooter King's mother is a medium who holds seances, and Scooter is her helper. He knows how to create ectoplasm, moving chairs, throwing voices, but when he meets the real Harry Houdini and a man is murdered, Scooter is faced with the real challenge of solving the murder. "
