Saving Houdini

Twelve-year-old Dashiel Woolf's parents take him Toronto's Canon Theatre to see a famous magician Bloom the Beguiler on the 85th anniversary of Harry Houdini's death. Bloom brings Dash onstage for his most famous trick, invented by his grandfather nearly a century ago: The Soap Bubble Vanish. When the bubble that surrounds Dash pops, he finds himself, inexplicably and inescapably, in 1926. Wandering the historic streets, he barely recognizes his city, but with the help of his new friend Walt, he hatches a plan to invent the trick that will transport him home. But in doing so, they might prevent the Great Houdini from taking part in the event that ended his life, possibly changing history forever.
