This book is halfway to overflowing with magic. Say anything while holding the magic charm from this book and you will get precisely half of what you wished for. The book starts off with Four children living in a poor town, and one of them finds a quarter on the sidewalk, and picks it up. It turns out to be a magic charm, a charm that splits whatever you wish precisely in half. Then the children go on all sorts of crazy adventures. From knights to a talking cat, their story just keeps getting crazier. This book is quite good, and I really enjoyed it. I would recommend to readers in fourth, fifth, and maby sixth grade.

OH MY GOSH! This book is so funny! :) It's amazing and I totally recommend it. Seriously, read this book!
This is a great book that's about a group of kids who start having magical adventures when they find a wishing coin.
This book is very good, because they're a lot of things that are interesting as the book goes on. I especially like the parts with the cool magic. This book is about some kids who discover magic at every turn. If you liked this book, then read the other books in the series! I am reading one right now. I highly recommend this book for people any age or gender.
Half Magic is a great fantasy book about 4 children's magical adventures. But there's one catch, the magic is halved! Their wishes have to be doubly as magic!
