He was willing to face peril in order to gain the prize. But his quest imperiled his soul.

 

  All ten-year-old Copernicus wants is to belong somewhere and to feel loved. But as an apprentice in Victorian-era London, love is as scarce as joy. Both he and his master’s teenage son, Charles Hannover, dream of escaping the hot bakery where they slave away in the dark of night. When Copernicus meets Mordechai Dross, a charming magician who promises to make him his own son, the lad believes that he has found his way of escape. Will his dream last? Or will he find himself slipping into a nightmare?
