Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0399244743, Hardcover)Ten-year-old twins Lacey and Casey Nicefolk live on a tiny herb farm in California, wishing they could see the world . . . but how, when times are so hard? That is where Sucoh Sucop comes in (you may notice his name is Hocus Pocus spelled backward).The mysterious man leaves the twins a magic box that can transform any toy into a life-sized reality. Soon Casey and Lacey, and their faithful hound Floopy, are soaring cross-country through the sky in the enchanted Vin Fiz, Casey’s model of a Wright Brothers biplane.Yet the ride is not a smooth one. The twins encounter danger after danger, and must rescue a town held captive by gold-hungry bandits, not to mention a runaway train full of terrified passengers!In the tradition of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang comes an old-fashioned adventure full of magic and heroism that will take young readers on a journey not soon forgotten.

Voordat ze het goed en wel beseffen zweven de tweeling en hun bassethond met de hangoren in de lucht en steken ze in een echte tweedekker van gebroeders Wright heel Amerika over. Het vliegtuig noemen ze Vin Fiz, naar Casey's favoriete frisdrank. Maar overal loert het gevaar, en als de tweeling het helemaal tot New York weet te brengen, zijn het helden voor de mensen die ze tegenkomen op hun wonderbaarlijke reis. Gelukkig kunnen ze vertrouwen op de magische Vin Fiz!
