"Our 4th and 7th graders read this book together and had so much fun choosing the different paths while learning about Houdini!" - Susannah F.
"A hit at the library!" - Karen, Walton Library
"I used to love reading these books when my children would check them out from the library and this one, was no exception. I choose my first path through the book, based on what I’d want to do and then, I went back and reread the book a few times, choosing paths that were totally different. I was Harry Houdini, a magician with big dreams!" - Live O.
"I am a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE nerd. ...this continuation of them is excellent. It's super fun and I got to come back from the dead which I don't think ever happened during the older series." - Kales
"Great combination of facts and adventure. Katherine Factor provides enough information to make you want to check out every one of the options. Partway through reading the book, I was already delving into online resources to read more about the facts she was weaving into the story.
