Edward Eager

Reading: Read together or pause after a wish goes awry. Invite your reader to predict what the half-wish rule might do before continuing, without needing to guess the story’s outcome.
Themes: Wishes and their limits: A coin grants wishes only halfway, and attempts to double a wish can lead to trouble. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
Worth knowing: The magic does not work cleanly: wishes can produce trouble as well as excitement. The overview does not clarify how serious or frightening those complications become.
