Magic by the Lake

ebook
A wish goes overboard in the third book in the series called "truly magic in a reader's hands" (Jack Gantos, Newbery Medal winner for Dead End in Norvelt).
If Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha had stopped to think—oh, if they had only stopped to think!—they would have ordered magic by the pound, or by the day, or even by the halves as they had in Half Magic. But no, they asked for magic by the lake—and now they have to deal with a whole lakeful of enchantment!
Soon the children find themselves cavorting with mermaids, outwitting pirates, and—with the help of a cranky old turtle—granting a little magical help to the one person who needs it most.
This funny and gentle classic series is an enjoyable read-aloud and also a strong choice for independent reading. For fans of such favorite series as The Penderwicks and The Vanderbeekers.
Enjoy all seven of the middle grade novels in Edward Eager's beloved Tales of Magic series!
"The same mélange of realism and fantasy, witty talk and believable characterization that has come to be the hallmark of Mr. Eager's stories." —The New York Times Book Review
"The combination of real children and fantasy is convincing and funny." —Booklist
