About this listen

 The English seaside, 1920s. A world famous escape artist ... A suitcase full of secrets ... And a death-defying stunt ... When Harry Houdini comes to visit the seaside town of Sidford-on-Sea, Glory and her friend Dennis are first in line to see him. He is there to perform a daring trick – he will jump off the town pier in chains, pitching himself into the water below. But when Glory outsmarts the infamous Houdini, she is suddenly sucked into his world, and finds herself tasked with looking after his precious trunk – the one that contains all his secrets. With Houdini in danger, Glory and Dennis are thrown deep into an adventure that takes them all the way to Coney Island in America, and the dark underbelly of its amusement parks ...©2024 Emma Carroll (P)2024 Bolinda Publishing Action & Adventure Historical Historical Fiction Mysteries Science Fiction & Fantasy

Critic reviews

'Not even Harry himself could escape the fact that this is Emma Carroll at her dazzling, storytelling best.' (Phil Earle, award-winning author of Being Billy)
'Packed full of visceral period detail... Being as this story features Houdini himself in a supporting role and partly explores stage-craft and conjuring, it's also an exciting, well-plotted mystery adventure, that delights in confounding expectations as we're led on a transatlantic journey of discovery and familial healing.' (Tom Percival, award-winning author of Big Bright Feelings series)

Another brilliant adventure by Emma Carroll

My children (9 and 12) are big fans of Emma Carroll’s historical fiction and so we were so excited to hear her latest work and it didn’t disappoint. Another brilliant adventure with plenty of twists and excitement.

Houdini hide

I think this book was very good but lacked a bit in drawing attention in wanting to keep listening and not to just drift off to sleep. But overall it was a great book 📖 that I would recommend for people who want a different type of book. Emma Carroll is an amazing author intertwining history with fiction and making it unbelievable.!
