وصف الناشر
Book one in the series called "truly magic in a reader's hands" by Jack Gantos, Newbery Medal winner for Dead End in Norvelt.
It all begins with a strange coin on a sun-warmed sidewalk. 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.
And something does: Her wish is granted. Or not quite. Only half of her wish comes true. It turns out the coin grants wishes—but only by half, so that you must wish for twice as much as you want.
Wishing for two times some things is a cinch, but other doubled wishes only cause twice as much trouble. 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 it has to be perfect?
This funny and gentle classic series is an enjoyable read-aloud and also a strong choice for independent reading. For fans of such favorite series as The Penderwicks and The Vanderbeekers.
Enjoy all seven of the middle grade novels in Edward Eager's beloved Tales of Magic series!

My Most Favorite Book
When I was young, I read Half Magic and was completely in love. Ever since, at any time when I’m feeling especially doubtful there can be any magic, I reread it. I must have given it to a dozen children and their parents, if they are the right sorts to believe in magic. But of greater importance, it is the first book I read where the girls didn’t take a back seat to their brother. In fact, they might have had the better adventures, especially Katherine. Being a knight would be great fun, especially if no one got hurt.
