The Vanishing Coin

(3) 4-6 Magic Shop series. Illustrated by Eric Wight. With Magician Mike Lane. In Coin, nine-year-old Mike, who "just [can't] sit still," discovers a passion for magic and some new-found confidence. In Arm, Mike's attempts to prove he's responsible enough to visit the local magic shop by himself go awry. This new series offers less-confident readers a sympathetic, likable protagonist with good intentions. Step-by-step instructions for several tricks and black-and-white cartoon illustrations support the accessible texts. Review covers these Magic Shop titles: The Incredible Twisting Arm and The Vanishing Coin.
