Edward Eager has been delighting young readers for more than 40 years with stories that mix magic and reality. <I>Half Magic</I>, the most popular of his tales about four children who encounter magical coins, time-travel herb gardens, and other unlikely devices, is a warm, funny, original adventure. The title refers to a coin that the children find. Through a comical series of coincidences, they discover that the coin is magic. Well, it's not totally magic — it's only (you guessed it) half magic. That means there's a certain logic to the wishes one must make to generate a desired outcome. Imagine the results emerging from inaccurate efforts: half invisible, half rescued, half everything! <I>Half Magic</I> is never too cute, and with just enough emotion to complement the magic, this classic is sure to hold a special place in any child's library. If you love <I>Half Magic</I>, its sequels — <I>Knight's Castle</I>, <I>The Time Garden</I>, and <I>Magic by the Lake</I> — have also been reissued in lovely hardcover editions, complete with N.M. Bodecker's original illustrations and covers by Quentin Blake. (Ages 8 to 12)
