A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection! It's a new
star-crossed romance about the magic of first love from the
acclaimed author of We Are the Ants and Brave Face, Shaun David
Hutchinson. Jack Nevin's clever trickery and moral flexibility make
him the perfect assistant to the Enchantress, one of the most
well-known stage magicians in turn-of-the-nineteenth-century
Europe. Without Jack's steady supply of stolen tricks, the
Enchantress's fame would have burned out long ago. But when Jack's
thievery catches up to them, they're forced to flee to America to
find their fortune. Luckily, the Enchantress is able to arrange a
set of sold-out shows at Seattle's Alaska-Yukon-Pacific World's
Fair Exposition. She's convinced they're going to rich and famous
until a new magician arrives on the scene. Performing tricks that
defy the imagination, Laszlo's show overshadows the Enchantress,
leaving Jack no choice but to hunt for the secrets to his
otherworldly illusions. But what Jack uncovers isn't at all what he
expected. Behind Laszlo's tricks is Wilhelm-a boy that can
seemingly perform real magic. Jack and Wilhelm have an instant
connection, and as the rivalry between the Enchantress and Laszlo
grows, so too does Jack and Wilhelm's affection. But can Jack
choose between the woman who gave him a life and the boy who is
offering him everything? It's a stirring tale about the magic of
love from award-winning author Shaun David Hutchinson.
