Oliver calls himself Squid Kid the Magnificent, though his sister Stella does not share his opinion. He performs squid-based magic acts, including vanishing in ink and causing many squids to appear. Stella sees how each illusion works and remains unimpressed by his performances. The book pairs Oliver’s attempts at magic with the tension between a budding magician and his skeptical sister.
