<p>When best friends Dominic, Loop, and Z stumble upon Conjuring Cats, a new magic shop in town, they know just how they''ll spend their summer vacation -- mastering cool tricks so they can gain access to The Vault, a keyholders-only back room that is bound to hold all kinds of secrets! And once they get in, they set their sights even higher: the Texas Association of Magicians'' amateur close-up competition at the end of the summer. <br><br>The problem is, the trip to the competition is expensive, and it''s money that each boy''s family just doesn''t have. Plus, the shop owners'' daughter Ariel -- an all-too-confident girl their age who just so happens to be last year''s winner -- will do <i>anything</i> to make sure the boys don''t come out on top. Will they make it to the competition? And if so, at what cost? <br><br>Diana L¿pez''s heartwarming, kid-friendly middle grade stories featuring dynamic Latino characters have made her a house favorite. <i>Nothing Up My Sleeve''s</i> themes
