{"product_id":"the-trick-emanuel-bergmann-9781501155833","title":"The Trick","description":"Sweeping between Prague during World War II and modern-day Los Angeles, \"The Trick is a lyrical, uplifting, and funny story that will tug at all of your heartstrings\" (Armando Lucas Correa, bestselling author of The German Girl) that follows a young boy seeking out a cynical, old magician in the hopes that his spells might keep his family together.In 1934, a rabbi's son in Prague joins a traveling circus, becomes a magician, and rises to fame under the stage name the Great Zabbatini, just as Europe descends into World War II. When Zabbatini is discovered to be a Jew, his battered trunk full of magic tricks becomes his only hope for survival. Seventy years later in Los Angeles, ten-year-old Max finds a scratched-up LP that captured Zabbatini performing his greatest illusions. But the track in which Zabbatini performs the spell of eternal love--the spell Max believes will keep his parents from getting divorced--is damaged beyond repair. Desperate for a solution, Max seeks out the now elderly, cynical magician and begs him for help. With gentle wisdom and heartbreaking humor, this is an inventive, deeply moving story about a young boy who needs a miracle, and a disillusioned old man who needs redemption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emanuel Bergmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501155830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501155833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Emanuel Bergmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935188779263,"sku":"9781501155833","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_db777993-b864-4ab2-8938-01337e466a70.jpg?v=1681418370","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-trick-emanuel-bergmann-9781501155833","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
