  <default-description>&quot;I don't think we're on the island any longer,&quot; Jennifer said slowly. &quot;I think we're UNDER it.&quot;

All around was a strange green glow. Mike stared hard at the trees growing upside down. &quot;You're right, Jen,&quot; he said. &quot;They're not branches at all. They're ROOTS. We must be under the ground!&quot;

There is magic in the park!</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Ruth Chew wrote a whole bunch of these books. They're not a series with recurring characters or a serial with a through-line, but they're all about kids mostly living in Brooklyn in the 60's who have magical adventures. She also did the illustrations. The books are absolutely charming and so imagina...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/159547">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think I enjoyed this book much more as a kid than I have rereading it now. Throughout the book the two main characters are thrown into situations over which they have no control, and which would be overwhelming if some random thing didn't happen to save them. This is not a friendly, happy magic.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61484629">more...</a>]]></body>

I remember checking out every one, several times, from the school library --before there was any hoopla about witches and children (and I went to a Catholic school!)
