The Amazing Adventures of John Smith, Jr. AKA Houdini by Paul Johnson is released today in hardcover by HarperCollins.
The "Houdini" of this book is a young boy who decides to write a novel about himself while he and his friends have adventures starting a leaf raking business. So this isn't really a Houdini book per se, but the cover art is evocative enough that I think I'll still add it to my shelf of Houdini Kid Lit.
Purchase The Amazing Adventures of John Smith, Jr. AKA Houdini on Amazon.com.
