The Abracadabra Kid is award-winning author Sid Fleischman’s own story. It tells how he came to love magic and showmanship. How he went off to war, and came back as a writer (of sorts). How he morphed from journalism into writing stories and books. And how his humor and playfulness found a home in children’s literature.This book combines many of my cherished pleasures: children's literature, biography, magic and humor.
You can read my entire book review on my website in The Bookshelf.
I received this hardbound book from a dear friend who knows the author. My book is signed, as you can see.
You know, I think I'd rather meet an author more than a rock star any day!
My favorite line from the book?
