About This Book

Two young ventriloquists, Nimble Ike and Jack the Juggler, move through a series of episodic adventures that blend vocal trickery, sleight-of-hand, and sleuthing. When a veiled young woman appears troubled they shadow her, identify a suspicious, well-dressed follower, and set traps and ruses to protect her and unmask wrongdoing. Episodes alternate between comic performances and strategic interventions, using disguise, misdirection, and quick thinking to resolve dangers and reveal deceit.
