Summary: The best, funniest, and most imaginative magic books ever
Comment: Knight's Castle was the first Edward Eager book I read and after that I could not get enough of them. Thirty years later they still make me laugh out loud and marvel at how surprising they are.
The element of surprise is the key, and what I've always felt Harry Potter lacked. Eager's kids are regular kids--just like the reader and her or his friends--who stumble across some thing or other that turns out to be magic. The children can control the magic thing, but first have to figure out exactly what it is, how to make it work for them, and what the catch is because there is always a catch. In the meantime all sorts of goofy stuff is going on all around them and they've got to corral the magic if they want it to do something special, which they always do.
Most of the books feature an age-range of characters, and a good balance of girls and boys. Eager's kids are always readers(which is why such fabulous things happen to them!) and which is fun for children who are readers themselves.
Any kid with a sense of humor and a yen for surprises will love these books.

Summary: Real magic!
Comment: I loved these books! Among other things, the kids in them actually READ. They encounter magic with a healthy scepticism I can relate to, and embrace it with the enthusiasm I know I'd share if I had their experiences. I'm so glad all four are included together here--it's really important to read them all, since the *best* part is when you arrive at the same point from two different perspectives in two different books...
YAY!!!
