Synopsis

In this second hilarious installment of the series that Kirkus called "ridiculous fun," Oliver is performing at a wedding rehearsal when one of the grooms goes missing in the middle of his magic act!

Oliver is new to the magical arts. In fact, he has only performed one act so far, and that one was interrupted by a theft-in-progress that he, his friends the twins Teenie and Bea, and his wisecracking rabbit, Benny, managed to thwart. Now Oliver has been hired for an even more important gig: a wedding. Teenie and Bea's fathers are finally getting married, and Oliver is supposed to entertain at the rehearsal brunch. He has chosen the classic sawed-in-half trick, which will be especially amusing when he calls up the grooms as volunteers. What could go wrong? Except that weddings are supposed to be about bringing people together, not splitting them up . . . and before the trick is over, one of the fathers will have disappeared. Luckily, Oliver seems to be a better sleuth than a magician!

*Includes a PDF of instructions for Benny’s Bunny Hop & The Sawed-In-Half Trick: Home Version.

Second book in the series following The Unbelievable Oliver and the Four Jokers. I started with this book and was hopeful it would be a new easy chapter series to recommend but too many things made shake my head. Several comments made by characters sounded way too old and honestly insensitive. After......more

Goodreads review by Geordie on July 07, 2022

A middle-school mystery book with a lot of goofiness and some tongue-in-cheek moments, this book was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. The characters are distinct, the pacing quick, lots of silliness for kids, and some clever winks to any grown-ups reading along. While the mood might someti......more

Quotes

"Readers will be as wowed as the wedding guests." —Booklist

"With tongue stuffed in his cheek, Bosch builds the silliness with total seriousness, forces of nature Bea and Teenie making them a delightful foil for the earnest, slightly anxious Oliver . . . A fun and funny follow-up that celebrates the magic of family and community." —Kirkus
