<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Twelve-year-old Harry Houdini Marco is awkward and clumsy, bearing little resemblance to his magician namesake, until he acquires the gift of flight.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From a three-time Newbery Honor author: Harry Houdini Marco had it hard enough as a normal clumsy twelve-year-old--but growing wings made it even worse.</b> <br> Except for his unusual name, Harry Houdini Marco is unremarkable in every way. While his namesake was the greatest illusionist of all time, Harry can't even catch a ball. He is on the verge of a long, boring summer--and he is dreading every moment of it. Then he meets a mysterious traveling salesman named Mr. Mazzeeck. But Mr. Mazzeeck is more than a traveling salesman, he's a wizard--at least, he claims to be. Before he leaves town, Mr. Mazzeeck gives Harry a bottle of magical oil, saying that the potion will give him wings. And to Harry's amazement, the oil works: He gets wings! Now he just has to figure out how to use them. <i>This book features an extended biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"There is a lot here to make a young boy laugh . . .
