Tomorrow — Saturday, June 29th — Magician William Pack will perform his act, “Houdini: His Life and Legend.”
We hope you’re signed up to come and see this cool show, but you can always check out books from the library to learn more about Houdini’s life.
You can also read fiction (books that are stories instead of facts) about Houdini. Danger in the Dark: A Houdini & Nate Mystery by Tom Lalicki (Lexile 850) is a fun mystery that you can find at the New Lenox Library!

Here’s a summary from Novelist: “Twelve-year-old Nathaniel Fuller has been raised in fastidious luxury in a household that includes his elderly great-aunt, his widowed mother, and a nearly invisible housekeeper. Growing up in Manhattan in 1911, he’s surrounded by miraculous new inventions such as telephones and automobiles, as well as the grim realities of sweatshops and class conflicts. What stirs Nate’s curiosity most, however, are the strange voices he hears every night in the family parlor. The man who visits most often is definitely unsavory. During the course of his job at a gentlemens’ hat store, Nate meets Harry Houdini. They quickly become friends, and Houdini develops his own theories about the suspicious gentleman caller.”
