Amelia's Book Room: The Rope Trick

Lidi is a magician; with shocking orange hair, beauty, and nimble fingers, she captures everyone's attention. She knows every trick there is, except for one: the rope trick. And there's only one magician in the world known to have done it: the great Ferramondo. 

Lidi goes searching for him with her companion, Jericho, performing in taverns for money. Along the way, she meets Daniella, the prophetic orphan "Added Attraction", Julian, a handsome outlaw with a dark past and a price on his head, and Pompadaro, owner of a circus of dancing pigs.

The Rope Trick is an exciting comedy/romance/fantasy/adventure novel from one of my favorite authors, Lloyd Alexander. In the past I reviewed his Chronicles of Prydain series, which you can read here. Like Lidi, this book is sure to attract anyone with a liking for magic and mystery!

I hope everyone gave their moms big hugs on Sunday! You know the drill: join the book club, leave me a comment, and go read!
