Customer Reviews

A truly amazing book to read!

I read this book for a third grade book report and it blew me away! Because it such a fast pick I just ploped it off the shelf but I am not kidding when I say this book kept me turning pages.It has magic, mystery and adventure what more could you want?

Mystery, Action, and Magic all in one story

I read this book for a college class I am taking. Overall, this is a good book. The action moves at a quick enough pace to hold the reader's attention. I think the combination of a young orphan over coming great odds and outwitting adults, a mystery to be solved, and a mysterious magician will appeal to young readers. I would recommend this book to any 8 to 12 year old boy or girl.
