![]() ![]() My second favorite part of this book was the trip back to King Arthur’s days and the glorious vocabulary that was spoken. That book is even mentioned in detail (and is full of spoilers, unfortunately, so watch out for that)! Although, I did find the magic in this one more entertaining (but much less beautiful than Castle’s), simply because of how complicated it got. Really, this entire book is an homage to The Enchanted Castle. What is half of twice a talking cat? Or to be half-again twice not-here? And how do you double your most heartfelt wish, the one you care about so much that it has to be perfect? My favorite part of this book was Eager fanboying about Edith Nesbit. Wishing for two times some things is a cinch, but other doubled wishes only cause twice as much trouble. ![]() It turns out the coin grants wishes-but only by half, so that you must wish for twice as much as you want. Jane finds the coin, and because she and her siblings are having the worst, most dreadfully boring summer ever, she idly wishes something exciting would happen. It all begins with a strange coin on a sun-warmed sidewalk. ![]() Half Magic, by Edward Eager, was first published in 1954 by Harcourt. ![]()
