I don't know how old I was when I first read this book--it was around when I was a kid. It is just as good today as it was back then. Eager has written one of those timeless stories about four children who find a magic coin that grants them wishes but only half way. After some highly amusing mishaps involving knights, invisibility, a riot and other wild goings on, the children learn the best way to double their wishes to make the half magic work. Besides being amusing, this book is a timeless story that is enjoyed by children just as much today as it was when it was published nearly 60 years ago. This is one of my Treehouse Book Club books for 2012-13.
