En Boston de 1854, Jingo espera a que su padre lo recoja del horrible orfanato donde lo dejó tras la muerte de su madre. Lo recuerda perfectamente: un hombre con una sola pierna y dientes negros como el carbón. Cuando un extraño, el Sr. Peacock, se presenta como su padre y pide llevárselo, Jingo se sorprende, pero lo sigue, feliz de escapar del orfanato. Acompaña a Jingo en una emocionante búsqueda del tesoro, llena de cambios de identidad, habilidades artísticas y secretos ingeniosos. Aunque Jingo está seguro de que el Sr. Peacock no es su verdadero padre, comienza a disfrutar de la aventura.
Albert Sidney Fleischman was an American author of children's books, screenplays, novels for adults, and nonfiction books about stage magic. His works for children are known for their humor, imagery, zesty plotting, and exploration of the byways of American history. He won the Newbery Medal in 1987 for The Whipping Boy and the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award in 1979 for Humbug Mountain. For his career contribution as a children's writer he was U.S. nominee for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1994. In 2003, the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators inaugurated the Sid Fleischman Humor Award in his honor, and made him the first recipient. The Award annually recognizes a writer of humorous fiction for children or young adults. He told his own tale in The Abracadabra Kid: A Writer's Life (1996).
