Mike is a changing, for the better, thanks to his new hobby of learning magic. However, his reputation for being a trouble maker is sticking with him. When the students are tasked to learn more about their heritage, Mike is determined to be related to Houdini, and when his bragging lands him in hot water, will magic find a way to help him out?
This series has been very popular with the 2-4 grade students at my school, and I really enjoyed reading this one. I highly recommend. I found the inclusion of multiple child friendly magic tricks to be the icing on the cake. I like that the story had some heart, some life learning experiences. Do yourself a favor and buy these in hardbound, so they can last through those repeated checkouts.
