The Well Wishers
By Edward Eager
This is the second book in the series. We have been introduced to James, Laura, Deborah, Lydia, Kip and Gordy in the book, Magic or Not.
This book is written in the point of view of the children. Each child takes his or her turn telling the events of the story, in their own words.
James admits that he might be too old to believe in magic. Laura thinks that the magic of the well rightfully belongs to her, since she discovered it. She is very upset to think that Gordy has started the magic again, by tossing a threatening note into the well. She is also upset that Gordy got the first wish and the first magical adventure, leaving the rest of the group out in the cold.
When Lydia is faced with a bully from her past, she makes a wish that is not in harmony with the well. This starts the ball rolling with dire consequences.
Now the kids from Silvermine Road really know they are on an adventure and there is no doubt that the well really is magical.
I enjoyed this story. I also thought it picked up the pace a little, from the first book.
Jill Ammon Vanderwood, author of two magical adventure books:
