Un ragazzino che crede a tutto e un anziano mago che non crede più a nulla. Cosa potrebbe unirli se non il corso della storia e un'incredibile avventura? Praga, 1934: Mosche Goldenhirsch, figlio quindicenne del vecchio rabbino, perde la testa per un leggendario mago del circo, conosciuto come l'Uomo Mezzaluna, e per la sua graziosa assistente. Mosche scappa di casa e si unisce alla loro carovana, lentamente in viaggio verso la Germania. Riesce a sfuggire alla furia omicida dei campi di sterminio e diventa un illusionista di successo, negli Stati Uniti, con il nome d'arte di Grande Zabbatini. Los Angeles, 2007: Max Cohn, dieci anni, scappa dalla finestra della sua cameretta per andare a trovare il Grande Zabbatini, ormai stufo e anziano. Il ragazzino è convinto che solo la sua magia e i suoi incantesimi possano far tornare insieme i genitori prima che il divorzio venga firmato.

A tizenöt éves Mosche Goldenhirschet, egy rabbi fiát kétszeresen is sorsdöntő élmény éri a cirkuszban: a legendás „Félholdember” bűvészmutatványai és ifjú asszisztensnőjének bájai veszik le őt a lábairól. Otthagy hát csapot-papot, és a cirkusszal együtt maga is útra kel, irány Németország… 2007, Los Angeles: a tízéves Max Cohen kimászik az ablakon, és nyakába veszi a világot, hogy egy kiöregedett bűvész, a nagy Zabbatini nyomába eredjen. Maxnak meggyőződése, hogy válófélben lévő szüleit csak valamiféle varázslat békítheti ki egymással. Az Egyesült Államokban és Németországban élő szerző első regénye korokon és kontinenseken átívelő, megható és képtelen történet, mely máris óriási siker Európa-szerte.
