Half Magic
by Edward Eager
I had fun reading this book, and thank a Goodreads author (alas, I have forgotten who!) for mentioning him as having had a heavy influence on her as a child. I plan on reading more of the books in this series.
With that said, I had one issue which can be overcome. I started out reading word for word but then became impatient and skimmed for a bit before returning to word for word. I wasn't impatient for wanting to know the ending; just for feeling like the writing was a little "not quite jelled" for me. But I quite liked the story, so jelled or not I was pleased to stick with it to the end. Of course, it was written for children, and I like books for kids and young adults. I just need to remember this in case I feel similar about the next book in the series.
Oh, and I enjoyed the optimism and quiet lessons and the fact that Eager is the author's last name and this book was published when I was two years old. :-)
