In this sequel to Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms, Stuart, now junior curator of his great-uncle Tony Horten's magic trick exhibit, must solve elaborate puzzles in order to find his uncle's will--and decide how best to use his inheritance. Readers who enjoy logic and wordplay will particularly enjoy this humorous fantasy full of characters who are just flawed enough.
