After reading Magic or Not, I was interested in reading some of Eager's other books, so I checked out Half Magic. Katherine, Mark, Jane, and Martha are experiencing a boring summer when Jane finds a magic charm. They find out the charm grants half wishes, so in order to get something, you have to wish for twice as much. The fun comes when there are some accidental wishes: "I wish I were home," or "I wish I wasn't here." I love the old-fashioned quality of Eager's books, but I think that today's kids will enjoy them for the humor and the magic. This would be a great read-aloud for a family with younger children.
