In Kingston and the Magician’s Lost and Found, magic has all but disappeared in Brooklyn. But one tenacious young magician is determined to bring it back in this exciting middle grade mystery and series launch. Kingston has just moved from the suburbs back to Echo City, Brooklyn—the last place his father was seen alive. Kingston’s father was King Preston, one of the world’s greatest magicians. Until one trick went wrong and he disappeared.
Now that Kingston is back in Echo City, he’s determined to find his father. When Kingston finds a magic box his father left behind as a clue, Kingston knows there’s more to his father’s disappearance than meets the eye. He’ll have to keep it a secret—that is, until he can restore magic to Echo City. With his cousin Veronica and childhood friend Too Tall Eddie, Kingston works to solve the clues, but one wrong move and his father might not be the only one who goes missing.
