Love and Magic

Yann, who is a Gypsy orphan, was born with an ability to throw his voice, read other people’s minds, and predict the future. Têtu, a dwarf, Topolain, and Yann are magicians who travel around France performing magic illusion shows. One night after performing a show, Count Kalliovski asks them to perform at a private party for the Marquis de Villeduval. That was the night Yann first met Sidonie, Sido for short; she is a shy, awkward looking girl who is emotionally abused by her father, the Marquis.

Yann is 14 when he met Sido, and she was twelve. He left the city of Paris for three years, and the last half of the book is when the Revolution begins to take over the French capital, Yann returns hoping to save the two people he cares about, Têtu and Sidonie.
