If you want to more about this magician or learn some tricks to his stunts then read the book.

Number the Stars by Lois Lowry

This was a realistic fiction book about the time when the Nazis took over Denmark. It's about a little girl who is best friends with a Jew. She goes through alot of bad things and encounters some Nazi soldiers a coulple of times. It was a good book even though there were some sad parts.

The Indian in the Cupboard

This book is about a little boy named Omri. On his birthday his best friend gave him a little toy indian. He locked it in his cupboard. When he opened the cupboard back up the little toy was alive. It was one big adventure with horses, surprised, and a time when Omri was sent to the principal's office. This is a very funny and enjoyable book.

Crispin: The Cross of the Lead by Avi It is a good book about a boy who is called Asta's Son because Asta is his mother, dead mother. He is being attacked for stealing money when he did not do so. He flees from his village for safety. He soon returns to see a priest who tells him his real name Crispin. He then meets a man named Bear who knows something about him that he doesn't. If you want to know exactly what you will have to read the book, but wait patiently until the end but trust me, it will be worth it. But if you don't like medival (knights, dragons, kings, queens, and castles) but this one without dragons, don't read the book. Or the other two that I haven't read. I give this 11 out of 5 stars. Over the limit.
