I can make that quarter vanish.

All it takes is a little magic . . .

Fourth grade was supposed to be a fresh start, but Mike’s already back in the principal’s office. He’s not a bad kid. He just can’t sit still. And now, his parents won’t let him play soccer anymore; instead he has to hang out with his new neighbor Nora, who is good at everything!

Then, Mike and Nora discover the White Rabbit. It’s an odd shop—with a special secret inside. Its owner, Mr. Zerlin, is a magician, and, amazingly, he believes Mike could be a magician, too. Has Mike finally found something he’s good at? Author Kate Egan and Magician Mike Lane’s The Vanishing Coin features illustrations by Eric Wight.

“Many children are interested in magic, and this title includes instructions for performing the various tricks and sleights of hand. This book will also strike a chord with kids who have trouble sitting still in school. Mike shows them that fidgety kids aren’t bad and that they have the potential to succeed.” —School Library Journal

“This engaging story effectively conveys Mike’s frustration at his difficulties at school and the joy he feels at discovering a talent for magic . . . step-by-step breakdowns of four tricks Mike masters are included.” —Publishers Weekly

“If the quick pace, well-developed characters, and humor-laced story aren’t enough, Lane, a magician himself, and Egan include instructions for four simple tricks.” —Booklist
