This was a pleasant little read. It is based around Houdini's death defying stunt as he jumped with handcuff on into a river in Boston. It gives insight to how Houdini pulled off his stunts and a little glimpse of his life, including his relationship with his wife, Bess. The artwork is brilliant and the book is readable in a day, which was the category I picked to read it for on Pioneer Book's Reading Challenge. If you haven't tried graphic novels yet, here is an invitation to do so, they are fun to read. And kids love them too!

Do you think this would be okay for an 11-year-old?
I think so. I vaguely remember thinking Ellis would like it.
