This is a book about the life of Ehrich Weiss, better known as Harry Houdini. The story begins when he is seven years old, and falls in love with magic. The book explains how he learns to be such an amazing escape artist. A fact that I found interesting is that it took fifteen years of hardships before Houdini became rich and famous. Houndini was always kind and generous, and the story of his life makes you appreciate how great of a person he was.

This is an easy book to read. Harry Houdini's life is interesting. You will find this book entertaining if you have an interest in untying knots, slipping out of handcuffs or doing magic tricks!
