An exciting and twisty middle-grade debut mystery novel?perfect for fans of From the Desk of Zoe Washington and The Parker Inheritance?about the disappearance of a famous magician, and one boy?s quest to find the truthA Junior Library Guild SelectionA School Library Journal Best Book of the YearA New York Public Library Best Book of the YearA Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year***STARRED REVIEW***"Ransaw?s fast-paced debut offers an introspective look at dealing with racism and ambiguous grief through the eyes of a preteen. Through an intriguing mystery, the story explores biases and preconceptions. A fast-paced, adventurous journey in search of the truth."?Kirkus Reviews***STARRED REVIEW***"Debut author Ransaw has done something extraordinary here in building a mystery that is as satisfying to adults as it will be to middle-school readers. Black readers in particular will feel empowered by Ransaw?s message of self-advocacy, emerging from the novel stronger and more confident. A worthwhile read for any mystery fan or anyone in need of a little magic."?BooklistWith a gripping combination of hidden doors, shocking twists, and deep emotional heart, Smoke & Mirrors asks the question: How much of the truth is what you can get people to believe?Spending the summer with his aunt as the only Black kid in a small Midwestern town was bad enough, but now Andy Carter?s summer has been effectively ruined.His dad?s parole hearing is postponed, he misses his friends, and?when an old barn burns down?he?s stuck taking the blame. Andy is sentenced with helping the barn?s owner, a cantankerous old man, renovate his crumbling mansion?a mansion that hides a mystery.It was once owned by the famous magician the Red Knave. In 1954, the Knave was a wanted suspect in the town?s most infamous murder before disappearing without a trace.The whole town is sure the Red Knave is guilty, but to Andy, things just don?t add up. Investigating a mystery from the ?50s isn?t the same as spending time with his dad, but Andy can?t help but be drawn into the Red Knave?s exciting world of magic and illusion. To solve the Knave?s final vanishing act, Andy teams up with another boy he doesn?t quite trust.Secret by secret, they try to uncover the Red Knave?s identity and learn why his last performance came to such a tragic end. …
