An extraordinary coming of age story about hope, determination and magic!
Newport, South Wales: A tenacious young dockworker's son, enthralled with Harry Houdini's amazements, dreams of a life of magic to escape the harsh reality of working class Edwardian Britain. As he trains to emulate his hero's escapology, his personal journey intersects with the great showman himself.
Inspired by the author's own family stories and the real-life visits of Houdini to Wales, it's a modern fairytale full of the triumph of the human spirit.
