1-3Stepping Stone series.
Illustrated by
Jim Madsen.
Young Ehrich "Harry" Weiss is entranced by the circus. He sneaks off with his brother to experiment with acts of his own, losing two teeth in the process. Details like Harry's interest in picking locks help set the stage for his future life as Houdini. The story also stands alone as a tale of boyish hijinks, reflected in Madsen's spirited black-and-white illustrations.
