Joe Strong, the boy wizard by Vance Barnum ~ Full Audiobook [adventure]

Joe Strong, the boy wizard by Vance Barnum audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Joe Strong has circus sawdust in his blood. Orphaned young, he is taken in by the strict Blackfords of quiet Bedford, a home that offers food and shelter but little understanding for a boy who can climb higher, run faster, and dream bigger than anyone in town. When the dazzling Professor Alonzo Rosello brings his magic show to Bedford, Joe cannot resist the challenge of figuring out the tricks, and his talent for sleight of hand quickly sets him apart. Then danger strikes at a nearby fireworks factory, and Joe's split-second bravery saves the traveling magician from a deadly fire. Grateful and intrigued by the boy's unusual heritage, Rosello offers Joe a chance at the life he craves: the road, the stage, and the secrets behind the illusions. But chasing that dream means defying the foster father who wants Joe kept respectable and ordinary. As Joe runs toward a new future, he must learn the discipline behind every mystery, prove himself under the pressure of live performances, and face the real-world threats that follow him from town to town. Part thrilling adventure and part backstage tour of classic stage magic, this story asks what it costs to become the person you were born to be.
