A little bit spooky, a little bit mysterious, Sid Fleischman's chapter book is short but full of atmosphere. When an orphaned boy must visit his sinister uncle, he steps into a corrupt plot affecting the townsfolk. He has the opportunity to save the day and is aided by a mysterious magician. I liked that the "magic" was a bit ambiguous and that there was a fine happy ending.
