About this book

Joe Strong was a favorite hero and could ride any horse, juggle most anything, and climb buildings, all with a steel reserve. He was the child of unique parents: a mother that rode trick horses and a magician for his father. However, in Horatio Alger fashion, by age five, he was without either parent. So he grew up in a circus and Joe Strong, the Boy Wizard relates a time in his life as he dabbles in magic! - Summary by Gerald A Moe Vance Barnum is a pseudonym of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, which mass-produced popular children's books throughout the 1900s.
