Summary of The Literacy Bridge - Large Print - Half Magic: 50th Anniversary Edition (The Literacy Bridge - Large Print)
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 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)With a New Introduction by Jack Gantos and Original Art by N. M. Bodecker
Edward Eager's enduring classic begins with a strange coin on a sun-warmed sidewalk. Jane finds the coin and idly wishes something exciting would happen. And something does: Her wish is granted. Or not quite. It turns out that the coin grants wishes - but only by half, so that you must wish for twice as much as you want . . .
