Half Magic | 
pickI found this book when reading Alice Hoffman‘s short story ‘the Bookstore Sisters‘. It was the main characters favorite childhood book. It‘s an absolutely delightful story about a family that stumbles across a magic coin that grants ½ of any wish made by the person holding the coin. I wish I had a young child to introduce to this author!
pick#audiowalk for my October LLS challenge this morning while listening to a cute children‘s story about a 4 children who find a magic talisman that grants only half of a wish.

Book 2 for #littenlisten
I was feeling nostalgic this morning, so here‘s some questions about your childhood reading!
1. One of those Bailey School Kids books. I think it was Vampires Don‘t Drink Lemonade. 🧛🏻
2. My dad read this to me when I was little. ❤️
3. The Left Hand of Darkness. This is the book that made me fall in love with sci fi, after refusing to read it for years. I feel like I missed out.
#sundayfunday Enjoy your day, and don‘t forget to tag me!
pickBook no. 12 for May's #BookSpinBonanza is this absolutely adorable MG read about four children who discover a talisman that grants them wishes - except it only grants HALF wishes, leading to even more complications than wish-granting usually entails! I thoroughly enjoyed this one and am excited about revisiting this whole series. Eager acknowledges his indebtedness to E. Nesbit in every book, and if you enjoy her stories, you'll find a lot to ⬇️
pick4 children find an ancient talisman that grants wishes but only by half. They have exciting adventures and even lose themselves along the way! An adorable story about responsibility, thinking before you act, and fractions! I wished to enjoy this book twice as much as I did. 😂

I'm about halfway through this little gem that is yet another book I missed out on as a kid! This was bequeathed to us by my mother in law when she cleaned out some of my husband's, and his siblings', books. It's crazy how many books you can get through if you focus on one at a time!!! Lol #multitasker #quarantinereads #middlegrade
pickHow have I not read these books before now??? What a fantastic story full of fun and all my favorite whimsical things ⚔🧙🏼♂️🏰 Now, to read the rest of the series as fast as I can!

“Still, even without the country or a lake, the summer was a fine thing, particularly when you were at the beginning of it, looking ahead into it. There would be months of beautifully long, empty days, and each other to play with, and the books from the library.” This quote could be easily relatable to everyone. Almost everyone looks forward to summer, especially in the beginning when there is plenty to look forward to.
I would never read this book to a class. There is a moment when they end up in the desert when they come across a “very evil arab man”. The way they describe this person is very inappropriate for a classroom. Children can read this book on their own with their parents approval, but it has no place in the classroom.

This book was very interesting and creative. Four children wish on a half magic coin and get themselves into all sorts of trouble. I found the idea of having to double your wishes very fascinating to think about. Ever since I‘ve finished this book, I‘ve been pondering on how I would double on my wishes. A very interesting read.
pickFinished and saw the other 75 books in the series and said no⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickAll of Edward Eager's books are terrific. I highly recommend them, residual as read-alouds.
I loved these when I was little. One is about a magic library book and the other is about a coin that only grants half of what you wish for. Magical hijinks ensue. #somethingmagical #riotgrams
Had an all around bad day, so of course I'm unwinding with my foster #catsofLitsy and a children's book. Nothing quite beats revising the magic of childhood with a cuddly cat.

#childprotagonists My father used to read to me and my sisters every night until we fell asleep. I grew up on these stories and ones like them. They will always be my favorite memories of my childhood. #latesy #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading
Another book in the great reread of my childhood. Ordinary siblings discovering magic with rules. What could possibly go wrong? 😆 #overdrive
