I have discovered so many good reads that way. One of them was the delightful series, The Hall Family Chronicles (8 in the series so far), and one of them, The Fledgling, was a Newbery Honor book. She also writes a mystery series for adults, featuring Homer Kelly. One of those, Emily Dickinson is Dead, received a Nero award. <br /><br />I love the sound of The Magic Half, and the book cover is charming, and I love time travel.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-71831611838579975722013-07-28T14:34:26.050-04:002013-07-28T14:34:26.050-04:00Sounds like a fun read. :)

Libraries are great. <br /><br />And to answer your question, this book is definitely aimed at a younger audience than the publisher claims. I'd say it's best for 8, 9 and 10. When You Reach Me has a much more complicated plot. But if she likes time travel and is looking for an easy summer read, I'd say go for it.Joanne R.
