The Prisoners of the Thirteenth Floor

(4) 4-6 Hocus Pocus Hotel series. Illustrated by Lisa K. Weber. The Abracadabra Hotel continues to provide Charlie and Ty with mystery and danger. In Wizard, the boys begin searching for their missing friend Brack the magician; then Ty disappears, too. Charlie finds both of them in Prisoners, and that discovery leads to more strange happenings. The undemanding texts lack subtlety and character development, but these breezy, fast-paced serial mysteries are diverting nonetheless. Review covers these Hocus Pocus Hotel titles: The Prisoners of the Thirteenth Floor and The Wizard and the Wormhole.
