“A modern suburban fantasy . . . There are quests and complications,
conflicts and charms. . . . Card’s back in top form, doing as well
as or better than any of his fantasy work so far.”—The San Diego
Union-Tribune In a prosperous African American neighborhood in Los
Angeles, infant Mack Street is found abandoned in an overgrown park
and taken in by a blunt-speaking single woman. Growing up, Mack senses
that he is different from most, and knows that he has strange powers.
Yet he cannot possibly understand how unusual he is until the day he
discovers, beyond a mysterious narrow house no one else can see, an
entryway into a magical world. Passing through, Mack is plunged into a
realm where time and reality are skewed, a place where his actions
seem to have disturbing effects in the “real world.” Whether he
likes it or not, Mack has become a player in an epic drama. His
reward, if he can survive the trip, is discovering not only who he
really is . . . but why he exists. Praise for Magic Street “A great
read . . . Card’s take on his characters [is] as sure as ever, his
narrative rock solid, his dialogue crackling and authentic.”—Los
Angeles Times Book Review “[Card] is a master at creating a sense of
urgency that keeps you turning pages.”—The Charlotte Observer
“Mind-bending . . . Card’s clever tale comes with sharp writing
and crisp dialogue.”—The Tampa Tribune “Compelling . . . By
the time the ultimate conflict comes into focus, the novel is
propelling the reader forward like a bullet.”—Deseret Morning
News “A suspenseful fantasy thriller that, during the race to the
last page, has one mulling over myth, morals, salvation, and
will.”—Booklist
