The show must go on! Growing up on the vaudeville circuit, twelve-year-old Connie Leondar knows that. So when his father, The Amazing Mind Reader Leondar, can't go on-stage one night, Connie dons his father's turban and goes on for him.

Why not? He knows all of his father's mindreading tricks. And Connie sticks to those tricks, until he locks eyes with an old man in the audience who has a surprising secret. Then the truth comes out--Connie really can read minds!

Now it is Connie who is the talk of the town. But the glitter and glitz wear thin for the young mind reader when he begins to see too much of the dark side of people. A decision to flee the vaudeville life--and a promise to himself never to use his strange talent again--take him and his friend Annie on a wild search for an eccentric cousin. On this search, a kidnapped boy and a puzzling garden test both the decision and the promise.

Using the power and peril of the sixth sense, Jan Slepian crafts an amazing story that probes the darkness and the light in all of us.
