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. <p/>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, both books in the delightful time-travelling Molly and Miri series is perfect for the whole family. <p/><b>Don't miss the sequel: </b><br><i>Magic in the Mix</i> <p/><b>Awards for <i>The Magic Half</i></b><br>The Virginia Readers' Choice Award list (2010-2011)<br>Missouri Mark Twain Reader Award nominee (2010-2011)<br>Kentucky Bluegrass Award Nominee<br>2011 Rhode Island Children's Book Award<br>2011 Massachusetts Children's Book Award<br>2011 Washington State Sasquatch Reading Award<br>Masterlist: 2011-2012 Florida Sunshine State Young Reader's Award (grades 3-5)</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Barrows conjures up a delightful tale brimming with mystery, magic, and adventure that will surely enchant readers everywhere." --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>"The heroine's adaptability and independent thinking endow her with the appeal of a Ramona Quimby or a Clementine." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Barrows once again presents utterly real kids . . . this is pleasing fare that adds a bit of history and a tad of mystery into the mix." --<i>Booklist</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Annie Barrows</b> was an editor at Chronicle Books before becoming a full time writer.
