    <body><![CDATA[This book was pretty good, but not nearly as entertaining as Edward Eager's book Half Magic.  This book isn't on the AR reading list, but I would place it around 6.7 or 7.0.  Half Magic is 5.0 on the AR reading list, and is a very fun book about a charm some children find that only grants half of wh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74534794">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Once again, Eager has done a great job of portraying some very realistic kids, both in how they act and in how they think.  This was a nice story about kids doing nice things for other people.  James was certainly amusing as a character, especially as he thought himself a man at the end of the book....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75561526">more...</a>]]></body>

Bodeker were a huge influence on me, and I loved the stories (you think Harry Potter is original? Hardly).
