The secrets of Elm Medona thicken . . . with Harry Houdini!

When Great-Uncle Thorne arrives at Elm Medona, Maisie and Felix's lives get shaken up again. Uncle Thorne moves the family into the mansion proper. One night, Great-Aunt Maisie arranges for Thorne, Maisie, and Felix to rendezvous with her in The Treasure Chest. Minutes later, Maisie and Felix find themselves at a magic show on Coney Island in 1893 starring Harry Houdini. As they follow him and his brother Dash to Pennsylvania and Rhode Island and back to New York City, they wonder what has become of Great-Aunt Maisie and Great-Uncle Thorne. Then one evening at Tom Pastor's Famous 14th Street Theater, the curtain opens and all is revealed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another terrific Treasure Chest children's novel by Ann Hood
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2014
Verified Purchase
"Prince of Air" is the fourth in Ann Hood's delightful time-travel series of children's books,"The Treasure Chest," and it's the fourth one that I've bought to give to my 8 year old grandson after I've read them. The entire series is excellent because it weaves together the fun of time-travel with vivid historical portraits of young people who go on to become well-known and important. It also incorporates lots of reassuring awareness of the real-life problems children face, from divorce to quarrels with siblings to problems at school. "Prince of Air" takes the twins to Coney Island and New York to meet the young man who will become the famous escape artist Harry Houdini. But this novel has the additional exciting development of a new twist in the life of their great aunt. This is a book and a series that children between the ages of 7 and 10 will probably enjoy greatly. I keep getting them for my grandson because he likes them so much. I like them just as much.
