This one doesn't come out until July of next year, but Amazon has just posted cover art, so I thought I'd give a shout-out to Hurry Up, Houdini by Mary Pope Osborne with illustrations by Sal Murdocca.
This book is part of the popular Magic Tree House series (#50), a mix of magic, history, science, and adventure aimed at readers 7 and up. Past books have included pirates, Abraham Lincoln and the Titanic. This time the young protagonists, Jack and Annie, encounter HOUDINI! (What took them so long?)
You can pre-order Magic Tree House #50: Hurry Up, Houdini from Amazon. Release date is July 23, 2013.

That's a fun book series! Thanks for the heads-up.
ReplyDeleteSome of those books have non-fiction companion books to them too. I wonder if there will be one for this story.
I wonder... I'll watch out for that! Thanks.
