Walker Styles grew up reading kids' books, so it makes sense that he's writing them now. And when he isn't writing books, he's out solving mysteries around the city of Manhattan, where he lives. Just the other day, he lost the book he was reading. Following all the clues, Walker deduced the couch ate it! (Well, the book was under the couch cushions. Still, mystery solved!).

The tricky magician Labra-cadabra-dor puts Rider under a spell in this seventh Rider Woofson adventure.

When the tricky Labra-cadrabra-dor breaks out of prison, Rider gears up to face his old nemesis. But this time Labra-cadabra-dor is one step ahead and zaps Rider under an evil spell. Will Rora and the PI Pack be able to uncover the secret behind the magic trick before the act is over?

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Rider Woofson chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
