Amazon.co.uk
Edward Eager has been delighting young readers for more than 40 years with stories that mix magic and reality. Half Magic, the most popular of his tales about four children who encounter magical coins, time-travel herb gardens, and other unlikely devices, is a warm, funny, original adventure. The "Half Magic" of the title refers to a coin that the children find. Through a comical series of coincidences, they discover that the coin is magic. Well, it's not totally magic--it's only (you guessed it) half magic. That means there's a certain logic to the wishes one must make to generate a desired outcome. Imagine the results emerging from inaccurate efforts: "half" invisible, "half" rescued, "half" everything! Half Magic is never too cute, and with just enough emotion to complement the magic, this classic is sure to hold a special place in any child's library. If you love Half Magic, its sequels Knight's Castle, The Time Garden, and Magic by the Lake have also been reissued in lovely hardcover editions, complete with N.M. Bodecker's original illustrations and covers by Quentin Blake. (Ages 8 to 12) --Amazon.co.uk

Format:Taschenbuch
I first read this book in the third grade, and have been re-reading it annually for the past 30 years. Nothing in the intervening years has been able to touch it (certainly NOT Harry Potter). It is the spiritual heir to the books of the great English fantasy writer E. Nesbit; it is completely unsentimental, original, witty, and does not talk down to children, something I appreciated even when I was 8. The best part, though, is the clever dovetailing between this book and its sequels "Knights Castle," "Magic By The Lake," and "The Time Garden" -- at one point you'll have the wonderful realization that you're reading the stories of two generations of children from the same family whose "magicks" cleverly overlap! Buy these books, and, if you can, Eager's equally wonderful and final book "Seven-Day Magic" (chickadee tidbits!).
Format:Taschenbuch
Ever since I read this book, I have been double-wishing things. It is an enjoyment for all!
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a really interesting book. Mark, Jane, Katharine, and Martha have a coin which will grant a half-wish. There are a lot of twists and a cool ending. I recommend this to everyone!

More than 25 years later, I still remember this book
This is a great book, and I still remember it fondly more than 25 years after first reading it. The central idea -- that of each wish, you get half -- is wonderful, and Eager does... Lesen Sie weiter...

Half Magic
I first read Half Magic at the age of 11. I was swept away by the magic, the humor, and the thought that just perhaps one day I would find a magic coin, too. Lesen Sie weiter...
