{"product_id":"joe-strong-the-boy-wizard-vance-barnum-9781935907824","title":"Joe Strong, the Boy Wizard","description":"Joe Strong was a favorite hero and could ride any horse, juggle most anything, and climb buildings, all with a steel reserve. He was the child of unique parents: a mother that rode trick horses and a magician for his father. However, in Horatio Alger fashion, by age five, he was without either parent. So he grew up in a circus and Joe Strong, the Boy Wizard relates a time in his life as he dabbles in magic! This new edition is dedicated to Brent Morris, a real magician as well as real author. Vance Barnum was one of the pseudonyms of Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930), who created an empire by employing a legion of ghost writers to produce more than 1300 adventure books. Ghost authors sometimes took names that played on the famous, such as \"D.T. Henty\" (George Alfred Henty); \"P.T. Barnum Jr.\", \"Richard Barnum\", \"Vance Barnum\" (P.T. Barnum); and \"Theodore Edison\" (Thomas A. Edison). He helped to develop several popular series, including Rover Boys, Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, Baseball Joe, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and Joe Strong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vance Barnum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935907824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935907824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westphalia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Vance Barnum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419581661439,"sku":"9781935907824","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7486f628-96cc-4336-a3ec-c7a0dcc1c17d.jpg?v=1761512508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joe-strong-the-boy-wizard-vance-barnum-9781935907824","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
