Passover is near, but an old couple has no food, no candles, and no way to prepare the holiday meal. Then a mysterious visitor arrives, and the ordinary room begins to feel touched by wonder. The Magician draws on a classic Jewish tale by Isaac Leib Peretz, bringing together poverty, faith, generosity, and a hint of miracle. For readers ages six to twelve, the story offers the suspense of a stranger at the door and the warmth of a holiday tale, while Uri Shulevitz’s artwork gives the simple setting a feeling of deep mystery.
