My Review:
I’ve had this book on my shelf for some time and I am a big fan of magicians and Houdini. I was looking forward to read this book to not only introduce to my kids but to find a fun series for myself to read. This was a cute book but I found it to be a bit slow and some of the story seemed rather choppy to me. I found it easy to follow along but Harry got on my nerves a lot more than I would have wanted. He was a bit spontaneous and would dart off without telling his friends where he was going. Even when they had a great plan that would work perfectly he would find some way to ruin it but something about this story just seemed not put together. Maybe I was expecting a lot more magic or escapes. The beginning was very exciting but as I got to the middle of the book it kind of just fell off and it was a lot of running around. I did enjoy the idea of the story and the twists were cool but like I said something seemed missing.
I have every intention of reading the next book in this series, the end was a To Be Continued so I can’t wait to see what happens to Harry and his friends, they look like they are about to go on a wild ride. This book would be great for kids and adults might enjoy it. I did like this book I think it just felt like it was missing something that I am hoping will be in book #2 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my review
Hope you have a great day and Happy Reading!
Sound s like an interesting one despite the slowness and feeling like something was missing, hopefully book 2 will be better. 🙂
I don’t think kids would mind it, but it looks like book 2 might have more going on than this one.
What a shame Harry was such a screwball! I’ve noticed that about some of these kids books though, there always seems to be something missing. Everything just kinda works out in the end but they never really say why. lol
I think a kid wouldn’t notice but since Harry is someone, as an adult, I know (not personally lol) it was harder for me to understand what he was doing but I think the next one will be a little more and I can’t wait to read it 🙂
LOL! Imagine knowing him in person, you’d look absolutely incredible for your age;) Right, kids dont notice this stuff, its us pesky adults that see the small holes and popping around!
That would be awesome to know him but do you know how old I would have to be if I did (I don’t for certain cause that’s math) LOL My kids would think it was great and he was awesome for being a pesky kid that didn’t listen.
I am going to put this on the gift list for a friend. I think her kiddo would love it!
It is a very cute read for kids, I also recommend Hooks Revenge by Heidi Schulz. That is super cute for kids too.
