Magic shows and mysteries abound in this show-stopping new standalone from a bestselling author who has sold close to a million copies of these middle-grade adventures.
The English seaside, 1920s.
A world famous escape artist ...
A suitcase full of secrets ...
And a death-defying stunt ...
When Harry Houdini comes to visit the seaside town of Sidford-on-Sea, Glory and her friend Dennis are first in-line to see him. He is there to perform a daring trick – he will jump off the town pier in chains, pitching himself into the water below. But when Glory outsmarts the infamous Houdini, she is suddenly sucked into his world, and finds herself tasked with looking after his precious trunk – the one that contains all his secrets.
With Houdini in danger, Glory and Dennis are thrown deep into an adventure that takes them all the way to Coney Island in America, and the dark underbelly of its amusement parks ...
'Emma Carroll's writing is magical. She is one of our finest writers ...'
Katya Balen, author of The Space We're In
'I couldn't put it down. What a story teller Emma is. A bright, entrancing, kaleidoscopic, rollercoaster of a book. An absolute cracker!
Hilary McKay, author of The Skylarks' War
'Packed full of visceral period detail... Being as this story features Houdini himself in a supporting role and partly explores stage-craft and conjuring, it's also an exciting, well-plotted mystery adventure, that delights in confounding expectations as we're led on a transatlantic journey of discovery and familial healing.'
Tom Percival, award-winning author of Big Bright Feelings series
'Not even Harry himself could escape the fact that this is Emma Carroll at her dazzling, storytelling best.'
Phil Earle, award-winning author of Being Billy
'Bursting with excitement, action and heart. Emma Carroll is expert at painting her characters so vividly, they practically jump from the page.'
Jasbinder Bilan author of Asha & The Spirit Bird and Tamarind & The Star Of Ishta.
'Utterly thrilling... Emma Carroll just gets better and better! I was absolutely gripped ... Emma is in a class of her own; this is historical fiction for children at its very best.'
Abi Elphinstone, author of Ember Spark series
