Cooper is brilliant at magic tricks. Card tricks, clever illusions - he can do them all. His dad, also known as the Great Eduardo, taught him the tricks of the magical trade before he passed away. But the one thing Cooper can't do is see his dad again. So when a talking rabbit appears from his dad's top hat, and reveals there is a place where Cooper might find him, he jumps at the chance. Magic is about believing the impossible, after all.
And Cooper desperately wants to believe that he can see his dad once more. But what - and who - is waiting for them in the land where magic goes wrong?
Filled with filled with humour and emotion, this is an action-packed graphic novel about finding magic when you need it the most.

Baines expertly weaves themes of grief and loss with humour and adventure, and aspiring magicians will pick up some tricks of the trade, too. -- Bookseller Children's Previews
