Seven-Day Magic by Edward Eager
4.0
Should be 4 1/2 stars, really, but I want to remind myself that it's Half Magic which is my absolute favourite. Any of his books really can stand as the epitome of a charming, delightful, funny, magical, engaging novel, together with their pitch-perfect illustrations (Quentin Blake is only the cover artist for this edition, the original art remains inside). Anyone who was fond of E. Nesbit will love these ... I think they're even better (Sh!)
I've re-read this a few times, so the date is approximately my first read.
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve!
