And the USA and USSR are testing nuclear missiles and creeping closer and closer to a world-engulfing war.Together with his wonder-working friend， Ailsa Spink， and the fire-eating illusionist McNulty， Bobby will learn to believe in miracles that will save the people and place he loves.From the Hardcover edition.
