Johnson, Peter. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF JOHN SMITH, JR.; AKA HOUDINI New York : Harper, 2012 IL 5-8, RL 5.6 ISBN 0061988901 John Smith, Jr., nicknamed Houdini after his favorite hero, hears an author speak and decides that he too can write a book following the authors’ rules for writing for teens. Hoping to write a best seller so he can buy his father a new car and pay for college, his writings humorously explore his life and interactions with friends and family. His fear of the town bully and the one armed Vietnam vet and worries for his own brother serving in Iraq lead him to better understand himself and others around him. See how this alters his world view. (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award nominee, 2014)
