The Secret of
āthe Great Houdiniā
by Robert Burleigh
Atheneum, 2002āā
ā
“Gore's illustrations depict a larger-than-life magician who most often spills off the page. There is a wonderful close-up of the anxious child, with the water dark-hued and deliciously foreboding.”
-School Library Journal
āāā
“…illustrations strike a misty note, with the chilly blues of the water contrasting handsomely with Houdini himself who, bathed in a pale light, appears enigmatic, even otherworldly.”
-Publishers Weeklyā
ā
“… subtly tinted, atmospheric artwork reinforces the deep mystery.”
-Booklistā
