About this product

Product Information

It all begins with a strange coin on a sun-warmed sidewalk. Jane finds the coin, and becasue she and her sblings are having the worst, most dreadfully boring summer ever, she idly wishes something exciting would happen. And something does: Her wish is granted. Or not quite. Only half of her wish comes true. It turns out the coin grants wishes--but only by half, so that you must wish for twice as much as you want. Wishing for two times some things is a cinch, but other doubled wishes only cause twice as much trouble. What is half of twice a talking cat? Or to be half-again twice not-here? And how do you double your most heartfelt wish, the one you care about so much it has to be perfect?

  • Good Book from my Childhood

    The book is enjoyable for kids of all ages. Read it to my oldest (9) while my youngest (3) listened in. The oldest was compelled by the story, while the youngest just liked all of the funny voices.

  • Pretty Good Book

    A little out of date but still a good book. I bought it for a Children's lit class that I am taking. We used the book for a project. It was a quick read although it took a little while to get into.

  • Magical

    This is just an excellent book. Have been reading it aloud to my six-year-old daughter, and she has been rapt.
