(2) 4-6 Adopting a tone somewhere between vaudeville announcer and carnival barker, Fleischman lures readers to the greatest show of all: reading. A magician himself, Fleischman does not disappear from the narrative but offers personal comments and conjures up verbal wordplay. He displays the drama of Houdini's escapades and adventures with sure and energetic pacing.
