They travel through time and have other madcap adventures, as they dream up all sorts of wishes. Hilarity ensues as the children try to figure out how to wish for exactly twice of what they really want to receive a full, complete wish. They engage in a variety of wild and funny adventures as each makes a wish, carefully worded to allow for the feature of half fulfillment. Beloved by children (and the parents lucky enough to share it with them) since it was first published in 1954, Half Magic is the uproarious tale of four. Half Magic is the fascinating and funny story of three sisters and a brother who find an ancient coin on the sidewalk that grants its bearer wishes – but only half of each wish comes true. The plot, as American Writers for Children, 1900-1960puts it is that, four siblings find a magic talisman that grants their wishes, but only by halves.
Of course, it does A funny and classic family tale for all ages. We’re about halfway through it and we are completely addicted so far! Bodecker (Illustrator) Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers Publication Year: 1999 ISBN: 0152020683 FROM SARAH It’s such a boring summer, so when Jane finds a coin, she wishes something exciting would happen. My daughter and I thought it sounded interesting so we looked for it at the library and started reading it that night. Last week while driving to the library, we caught the tail end of a review by Peter Glassman about a book called Half Magic by Edward Eager. And one of Mindy’s frequent guests is Peter Glassman the owner of Books of Wonder, New York City’s “oldest and largest independent children’s bookstore, as well as the city’s leading specialist in children’s literature both new and old.” My kids and I are fans of the Absolutely Mindy show on Kids Place Live on Sirus/XM radio.
