Edward Eager, Half Magic
Odyssey Classic (1954) ISBN: 0-15-233081-X
Score: 2
Juvenile urban fantasy (possibly the start of a series) about four young kids who find a magic charm that grants half of what you wish for. Most of the book deals with trying to undo previous wishes (I particularly feel sorry for the cat, who they wished could speak). More enjoyable than expected, even if it does "point a moral" (to borrow a phrase from chapter 5).
Next Book: Lawrence Watt-Evans, The Misenchanted Sword
