From a three-time Newbery Honor author: Harry Houdini Marco had it
hard enough as a normal clumsy twelve-year-old—but growing wings
made it even worse. Â Except for his unusual name, Harry
Houdini Marco is unremarkable in every way. While his namesake was
the greatest illusionist of all time, Harry can’t even catch a
ball. He is on the verge of a long, boring summer—and he is
dreading every moment of it. Then he meets a mysterious
traveling salesman named Mr. Mazzeeck. But Mr. Mazzeeck is more
than a traveling salesman, he’s a wizard—at least, he claims to
be. Before he leaves town, Mr. Mazzeeck gives Harry a bottle of
magical oil, saying that the potion will give him wings. And to
Harry’s amazement, the oil works: He gets wings! Now he just has
to figure out how to use them. This book features an extended
biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.
