Eleven-year-old Harry Mancini is not Harry Houdini, the famous escape artist who died in 1926. But Harry does live in Houdiniâs old New York City home, and he definitely knows everything there is to know about Houdiniâs life. What is he
supposed to do, then, when someone starts texting him claiming that theyâre Houdini, communicating from beyond the grave? Respond, of course.
Itâs hard for Harry to believe that Houdini is really contacting him, but this Houdini texts the secrets to all of the escape tricks the dead Houdini used to do. Whatâs more, Houdiniâs offering Harry a chance to go back in time and experience
it for himself. Should Harry ignore what must be a hoax? Or should he give it a try and take Houdini up on this death-defying offer? But what if Houdini wants more than just friendship with Harry? What if he actually wants to change places with
him ⌠and leave Harry trapped in 1921?
