Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms: Magic, Mystery & a Very Strange Adventure

271 pp. | Sterling | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4027-9806-1 $14.95
(2) 4-6 For those who like their mysteries of the little gray cell variety, with logical puzzles, codes, crossword clues, maps, and conundrums, this story of a magician's great-nephew is a treat. Ten-year-old Stuart Horten must locate a long-lost conjurer's workshop in the small town where he lives. He has some adventures, but mostly he does research and thinks--an Encyclopedia Brown for our time.
