Eager, Edward - Half Magic (Paperback)

Half Magic by Edward Eager is a beloved children’s fantasy classic first published in 1954. Siblings Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha discover a mysterious coin that grants half of whatever they wish for—leading to magical misadventures, comical consequences, and lessons in humility, cooperation, and care.

This edition (208 pages in many trade paperback versions) includes the original illustrations by N. M. Bodecker, blending charm, whimsy, and wit across “half” wishes that go half-right. Part of the Tales of Magic series, Half Magic remains a staple for young readers who delight in gentle enchantment, sibling dynamics, and imaginative plots.
