I love the book the magic half. It is a magical and creepy book. It tells alot about Molly and Miri's life. I like the way the book tells lots of specific details about Molly and Miri's adventures. Before i picked up this book i thought it was going to be a very boring book from the front cover but it's really a great book. I think the part were miri looks through the eyeglass and goes to the centry of 1935 with Molly was very cool. I think that this book is an excellent book and lots of people should read it.

Miri is the non-twin child in a family with two sets of them-older brothers and younger sisters. The family has just moved to an old farmhouse in a new town, where the only good thing seems to be Miri's ten-sided attic bedroom. But when Miri gets sent to her room after accidentally bashing her big brother on the head with a shovel, she finds herself in the same room . . . only not quite.
Without meaning to, she has found a way to travel back in time to 1935 where she discovers Molly, a girl her own age very much in need of a loving family. A highly satisfying classic-in-the-making full of spine-tingling moments, this is a delightful time-travel novel for the whole family.

I loved this book! Its so awesome! I read this book while on a long car trip last summer. So its a great summer read. I highly recommend it!
I like books about time travel. That is so fun to think about. I wish I could be with Miri when she meets the other girl. This book is great.
This is a cool book about a girl who is in the middle of 2 sets of twins. 1 is her older sisters, and the other is her younger brothers. She feels left out. One day she gets in trouble and has to go to her room. In their she finds something that will change her life forever.
Four children wish on a Half Magic coin that gets their mother Alison half-way home, rescued by Mr Smith. Mark's wish zaps them to a desert without island, where half-talking cat Carrie gabbles to a camel.Katherine battles Launcelot. Eldest of all Jane rejects siblings for another family. Stubborn youngest child, Martha, causes a riot downtown.
i read this book because it looked like a fun book to read. i enjoyed this book because it was fun to read and really funny at times
Do you have 2 sets of twins that everybody thinks is special then when they look at you all they say is ;she's nothing special. Miri is really tried of being the perfect kid. then one day she finds a piece of glace from some glaces and when she puts it over her eye she gets transported to 1935.
I loved this book- the main character, Miri, is just like me. I love playing imaginary games and I am always wishing something magical will happen. I love how she risks her life to help Molly. The ending was spontaneous and it has just the right amount of excitement, mystery, and adventure to keep your pages turning until it is over.
I loved this book! It's by the same author as Ivy and Bean. So its about a girl named Miri who has twin older brothers and twin younger sisters. Miri feels stuck and no one ever looks at her. Then one day she finds half of a pair of glasses.......
Its a really good book. I read the book and it was very exciting. I read it all the time now. Its a very original book.
