Smoke & Mirrors

Rosalyn Ransaw

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 truth
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.
With 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?
***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

Hoang Nguyen

Beneath the starlit canopy of Verdantia, where vine lords tangle embraces in nocturnal twine and free-spirited dryads sway with leafy liberty, lord Vesper ensnares dryad Sylva in a tangled love that defies her wandering roots. Their embrace, twisted in vine vows, grows the canopy—or chokes it with possessive thorns. As they climb star-veiled arbors and root-laced grottos, entangled by thorn barons and spirit wanderers, Vesper's lordly tendrils merge with Sylva's free sway, revealing a vine legend of liberated growth. When a severed vine summons blight creepers, they must untangle the embrace to nurture the stars. In the twist of starlit tangles, where every twine binds with passion and every leaf flutters with freedom, their love becomes the vine that reaches for the heavens.
