Jack has been shuffled between several foster homes. At age 12, he is an expert at escaping handcuffs and idolizes Harry Houdini. But Jack is tricked by a magician of the underworld, Mussini, and he has to try to escape purgatory. I found this novel to be quite entertaining, and I don't think it is limited to tweens. I didn't become extremely invested in the characters and found many of the events quite predictable, but I looked forward to reading it each time I picked it up.

This one was just a fun story, a nice way to pass some time. I was proud of Jack for being able to trust, and think the best of people even after all he had been through in his short life. This is the kind of character I like to see. More please!
