About this book

Carter, a street magician, runs away and arrives in the sleepy New England town of Mineral Wells. There he meets Dante Vernon, a local illusionist, and discovers five other young magicians. Together, the six form a team to protect their town from B. B. Bosso and his crew of crooked carnies, who arrive intent on stealing from the community. Using teamwork and magic, the group works to stop Bosso's schemes while discovering friendship and their own self-worth. The book contains embedded secrets, ciphers, codes, and magic tricks that readers can discover and learn throughout the story.
