Book Reviews of Escape!: The Story of The Great Houdini
Book Review: Great insight into the Great Escape Artist
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never been disappointed by a Sid Fleischman book and this one is no exception. The work is well-researched and the photos are phenomenal. My only heads up is that I did get this book for my almost 9 year old who is a great reader, but this was way over his head. I would say that as an independent read it is for tweens and up, however it made a great read-a-loud and vocabulary/history builder for him. Thank you Sid for another stellar piece of literature.
Summary of Escape!: The Story of The Great Houdini
How did he walk through walls, escape drowning, and shatter iron chains that were tightly wrapped around him?
The rare photos in this book might help you figure it out. So might the exclusive update about the rumor that Houdini was poisoned. But just remember, a true magician never reveals his tricks. . . .
