Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Danny Woo had an unusual childhood. His parents were the star performers in the Mysterium circus and they taught Danny plenty of tricks. But his parents' skills couldn't save them from dying in a suspicious fire. Now Danny and his aunt Laura, a journalist, are heading to Hong Kong so Laura can research the dangerous gang called the Black Dragon. Almost immediately, she's kidnapped and Danny realizes that the gang may be connected to his family's past. With the help of an old friend, Danny tries to free his aunt, and he uses every trick he knows to face off against the international criminal network that might be responsible for his parents' deaths.

From School Library Journal
Gr 4-7-In this gripping series introduction, readers meet 12-year-old Danny, who is dealing with the traumatic and shady aftermath of his parents' deaths. Both of Danny's parents were entertainers at the dark, New Age, traveling Mysterium circus. An explosion at his school forces the boy to accompany his journalist aunt to Hong Kong. Soon after, his aunt is kidnapped, and it's up to Danny to infiltrate the Black Dragon, a Chinese organized crime syndicate, and rescue her. Danny, who is identified as biracial (Chinese and British), will endear himself to readers. The cool and calm he is able to find in intense situations, coupled with all of the amazing skills he has picked up from his parents, will both mesmerize and inspire audiences. Lending him a hand is his godfather, Major Zamora, described as a "dwarf strongman." The pacing is fast, featuring a strong blend of intense action and inner struggle. The ending is powerful and thrilling, clearly setting readers up for a second installment. VERDICT For fans of action-driven adventure set in the criminal underworld.-Chad Lane, Tulip Grove Elementary School, MDα(c) Copyright 2011.
