Disappearing Act

What do you do when your mother disappears and a strange man starts stalking you? If you're Kevin and Holly Kidd, you try to lose yourself in the wacky world of Venice Beach, California, where boardwalk entertainers do everything from juggling watermelons to telling fortunes as they try to make a living. Soon Kevin and Holly are making a new home among these larger-than-life characters. But just when Holly seems set to achieve her dream of starring in an opera, their stalker reappears, more menacing than ever. What is he after? And how can Kevin save the show--and his sister? Join the Full Cast Family for a delightful romp as they bring Sid Fleischman's funny, fast paced, suspenseful novel of two young people on the run to new life on audio. Sid Fleischman has written over three dozen books for young readers, including the Newbery Award winner THE WHIPPING BOY. Before becoming a writer, he worked as a professional magician, then as a reporter. His other books include BY THE GREAT HORN SPOON and THE GHOST IN THE NOONDAY SUN. Mr. Fleischman lives in Santa Monica, California, not far from the action of this novel.
