The book "Harry Houdini" is a great book for all magic lovers. It tells the life of Harry Houdini from how he gets his name till he dies.

Short Summary: Harry Houdini grew up in a small poor town. There family was very poor, they could hardly afford milk. One day Harry decides to leave home in search of money so to earn it he did little magic tricks on the streat. The money he earned wasn't enough. With all his money he bought a magic book and learned from it. He became better and better every day. Sone he started preforming on stage and every month he would shipp some money to his mom and dad. Eventually his dad died, that was a down time in his career. He went on doing tricks with his wife until she died at a young age.

Recommendations: I recommened this book to both genders from the ages of 8-13. It is good for those ages because it may encourage you to try hard to accomplish your goals in life just like Harry Houdini did.
