Danger in the Dark: A Houdini & Nate Mystery

188 pp. | Farrar | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-374-31680-5 $14.95
(3) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Nathaniel is befriended by the great Houdini in this well-researched period novel. Convinced that Nate's strict yet vulnerable great-aunt is being conned by a spiritualist, Houdini helps expose the fraud. An author's note explains that the real Houdini gave lectures advising people about how to protect themselves from con artists. Houdini fans will enjoy the historical details of turn-of-the-twentieth-century New York.
