Eager, Edward

Four cousins, Roger, Ann, Eliza, and Jack, have an extraordinary summer when, after an old toy soldier comes to life, they find themselves transported back to the days of Robin Hood and Ivanhoe.

Faced with a dull summer in the city, Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha suddenly find themselves involved in a series of extraordinary adventures after Jane discovers an ordinary-looking coin that seems to grant wishes.

When the family moves to Connecticut, twins James and Laura make new friends and begin a series of unusual adventures after discovering an old well that seems to be magic in their backyard.

A seven-day book of magic proves to be fractious for five children, who must learn the book's rules and tame its magic.

An old well that might be magic affords an exciting summer for the twins, James and Laura, and helps them to right an ancient wrong.

Four children looking forward to an ordinary summer enjoy a series of fantastic adventures by double-wishing on an ancient coin.

Six children relate their experiences with an unpredictable old wishing well that involves them in some magical adventures during an eventful autumn.

When wishing for magic, it's hard not ot wish for too much. If Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha had stopped to think-oh, if they had only stopped to think! They would have ordered magic by the pound, or by the day, or even by the halves as they had in Half Magic. But no, they asked for magic by the lake-and now they have to deal with a whole lakeful of enchantment! Soon the children are awash in magic. They find themselves cavorting with mermaids, outwitting pirates, and with the help of a cranky old turtle granting a little magical help to the one person who needs it most.
