- what was your favourite part of this book?
- i don't really know. i liked the whole book.
- quick! make a wish!
- i wish i had twice as many tickets for screen time and could do twice as much of all the things i love to do. and i wish it twice.
- of the four children, which are you most similar to?
- mark. because we are both boys. he treats martha like i treat daedae.
- would you have tried to explain everything to mr smith like martha did?
- yes. actually, i wouldn't have, just to make the time more interesting.
- which was the most disasterous wish?
- if the wish for four noses would have worked out, that would have been disasterous. martha being half-there was pretty bad. and all the wishes that involved the cat were funny and ridiculous. really disasterous.
- what are your feelings about the mom?
- i think all of her decisions, especially the one about hiring miss bick [the nanny], were terrible. so was thinking she was crazy. and how could she be so completely wrong about everything to do with magic?
- of the places they traveled to, where would you most want to go?
- medieval times. i would especially like to fight with swords. i've wanted to be a knight ever since i heard about knights and jousting and swordfighting.
- would you like to read the sequel, with the same characters?
- yes. partly because we own it, and partly because i like all this guy's books. read half-magic! and if you like it, read knight's castle! but if you didn't like the medieval part, don't bother.
- ok mr. advertizer, convince me to read this book.
- half magic is awesome! the medieval scenes will just cut you to pieces! partly because the characters themselves are being cut to pieces! if you love anything magical, it is all here. all these books are woooEEEEE! and if you liked this book, read everything by edward eager, because he wrote billions (actually only seven) of magical books. and stay tuned to my blog for other fantastic amazing chapter books and you should read all of them. and also go to forest dot awesome dot com for video games, tv shows, character lists and comics to amaze you all!
