Overview

Brandon Brown is dying to drive his father’s 1956 T-bird while his parents are on vacation. Will he fool his parents and drive the car without them knowing and win the girl of his dreams in the process?

The low unique word count and high-frequency factor (the number of times core structures are embedded in the text) in the Comprehension-based™ reader, ‘El nuevo Houdini’, make this an ideal read for beginning Spanish students. Remember, the principle behind providing this comprehension-based reader is not to focus on grammar, but rather to focus on the story.
