网友对Half Magic (Magic series)的评论
I read this book with my kids, my ten year old son and 8 year old daughter. It's a very fun and easy read with adventure, magic, and humor. The heroes are 4 siblings, 3 girls and a boy, which helps to connect with boys and girls. My kids absolutely loved it, they would give it 5 stars. I personally would give it 3 or 3.5, hence the rating of 4. It was certainly a fine book and fun to read, I just didn't find it quite as clever and special as other books we've read such as The Witches by Roald Dahl.
A warning to parents who are offended by violence. There is a scene in which 2 knights bascially butcher each other to death (only to be quickly reassembled by magic minutes later). It's a relatively bloodless scene given what actually happens, and I personally am not bothered by this sort of stuff in kids books nor are my kids. For example there is some gruesome and macabre action in The Witches. But it is worth noting and if you're bothered by that you may want to skip it or avoid the book. You could skip it - it comes soon after they meet Sir Launcelot - without missing the flow of the story.
Note to publisher....the kindle for iPad version we read had quite a few typos in it...far more than I've ever seen in any format. There were sections we had to reread several times to decipher.
Many years ago, more than half-way across the country (twice!), I read Half Magic when it was a Weekly Reader Children's Book Club selection. I was captivated by the concept of having wishes come true, even if you had to figure out how to word them. I have remembered specific bits of dialog from the book for all these years and was saying "YES!" to myself as I came across them when re-reading the book. I was delighted that it was available on Kindle, because my copy disappeared over the years after being read by my children, my friends' children, and those to whom it was passed on until I lost track of it. I can only hope that Half Magic is still available to today's children who are still young enough to be enchanted by flights of fancy, even in this age of technically thrilling action books, games, and videos. Some things are eternally relevant, and this book is one of them.
I remember this book as being my favorite as a child. I remember thinking how wonderful it would be to have such magical powers and great adventures. This was my first experience at finding the beauty of the school library, I eagerly would approach the shelf where it was located each week just to see what would happen next. Many years later I came across the 50th edition and had to buy it. I shared it with my grandchildren! Can you believe it, Grandchildren! Watching them read through it brought me back to those days of my childhood as I exchanged thoughts and feelings hidden for so very many years. Every child should have the opportunity to experience this beautiful story. If you missed it when you were young, borrow it for yourself and sit back and enjoy the adventure. It is a true joy!
I first read this when I was in the fourth grade. Having lost my father two years earlier, I longed to have a magic talisman to bring my father back close to me too. However, in the book I read when I was a child, there was a sketch of her father's spirit kneeling at her bedside. It spoke to me.
Four siblings discover a magic coin that grants you half of your wish--which they learn the hard way. They also go on magical adventures and learn to value each other and be more noble people. It's a charming middle to late elementary tale.
It is a bit slow at times and it's definitely dated. I read it to my kids and had to translate and explain something almost every page. But when we finished my kids were literally grinning and jumping around the room. It's a sweet story with very relatable characters.
