Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. 4.25 ( ) teen fiction (magician's assistant meets murderer/kidnapper's captive with magical abilities at the World's Fair in 1900s Seattle and adventure/heist ensues) a fun diversion, and I like that in addition to the multiple queer characters there are a number of very smart, very strong women who do not need rescuing. This was a very exciting, turn-of-the-century YA romance set among con-artist illusionists and their assistants at the 1909 Seattle World's Fair. Rather than being strictly historically accurate, it imagined a slightly more pleasant history with more acceptance and less slurs—still lots of heist-y crime and violence, though! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML: 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 Alaskaâ??Yukonâ??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 Wilhelmâ??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 Hutchin No library descriptions found. |
