Junior Fantasy Fiction. I recently needed to pick a few favorite books to share with others at a meeting I was going to attend. Whenever I think of my go to fav books this one always pops up as an all time favorite. Edward Eager is an author that I have enjoyed for years and years and I never tire of reading his books.
His books take place in the 1920s and mix magic with normal everyday life. The children range in age from small to early teens and are usually on a holiday or summer break with nothing to do. They wish there was something magical in their life and low and behold there is. I love their family relationships which shows the ups and downs of growing up with siblings and the bond that is there despite their disagreements. There are a few illustrations in his books by illustrator N.M. Bodecker which adds to the whimsical feeling.
Recommend: Highly!
