Houdini: The Handcuff King

96 pp. | Hyperion | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7868-3902-5 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Nick Bertozzi. A magician never reveals his secrets. But in this graphic novel about one of Houdini's underwater handcuff escapes, the author speculates that Houdini's wife, Bess, was more than a little involved. The three-color art panels are varied in design and orientation, adding drama to the story by changing readers' visual perspectives. An introduction and afterword give additional information.
Reviewer: Laura A. Woollett
