Synopsis

Every kid has heard of Harry Houdini, the famous magician who could escape from handcuffs, jail cells, and locked trunks. But do they know that the ever-ambitious and adventurous Houdini was also a famous movie star and the first pilot to fly a plane in Australia? This well-told biography is full of the details of Houdini's life that kids will really want to know about and illustrated throughout with beautiful black-and-white line drawings.

About this title

About the Author:

Tui T. Sutherland & Kari Sutherland are sisters and best friends, and if you can t tell by looking at them which one is older, Tui certainly isn t going to tell you. They grew up in South America, traveling a lot and moving several times (and they re still only about 80 percent certain that their parents weren t secret agents). Kari now lives in California, while Tui lives in Boston, but they use every excuse they can to see each other (like, say, writing a book together).

John O Brien is the NEH Daniels Family Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of English at the University of Virginia. He is the author of "Harlequin Britain" and the editor of Susanna Centlivre s "The Wonder".
