I hated this book! it was so boring! ! ! ! !! ! ! ! ! !! ! ! !! ! !!

At my school library, I wanted to read fun books. My librarian said Half Magic was a good book. After I read the book, it was so good that I wanted to read all of Edward Eager's books.

I love the cover

A man who flies bombing missions in World War Two for America who tells his account of the war in a depressed but still hilarious way. He talks about a catch 22 in which if you don't want to fly planes it means you are sane and will still fly bombing runs but if you want to fly planes then you are crazy but since you want to fly, you will.

This book was simply moving, created to stir the hearts of others!

love this book

it is a riveting classic telling about how a famous Doctor splits his personality into good and evil and this book is good so far

We recommend everyone to read this book! Why? Because its funny and we loved reading about the different things the gingerbread gets into while he's in school. You'll love the ending!

I have a simple review and context questions for each chapter adapted from a high school English class. The book allows for literary analysis, discussion of inference, growth of vocabulary, emotional inference practice, and creative writing. Depending on grade level can take 4-6 weeks to progress through. If you're looking for a sustained project practicing reading comprehension and writing, I highly suggest this book.

When a old man and a boy are told that they can not fish with each other he choose to fish one day alone after not catching a fish for nearly 40 days a move that he will never regret, The old man finds himself being towed behind a fish longer than an the everyday pick up truck(over 18 feet)but slowly face a near infinite backdrop of wind and water he faces a large task before him to get a fish back home. In a boat not much larger than a rowboat he learns how to eat, sleep and survive when being towed by a large fish he recalls memories when he was younger, in the midst of a fight where everyone and everything is trying to survive. I rate this book ⅖ stars because it is an interesting story but doesn't have much stuff going on for most of the story
