Book five in the series called "truly magic in a reader's hands" by Jack Gantos, Newbery Medal winner for Dead End in Norvelt.
When is magic not magic?
Laura is a girl who goes out of her way to find adventure. So when her family moves to a house with a well in the yardâa wishing well, according to Lydia, Lauraâs opinionated new neighborâLaura is all too willing to make a wish and see what happens. Plenty happens. Thanks to the well, Laura and her new friends help save Miss Isabellaâs house from foreclosure, rescue the almost long-lost heir to a fortune, and even solve the mystery of the antique desk.
But is the well truly granting wishes? Or is something else responsible for the adventures of that summer?
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!

âLots of fun.â âThe New York Times Book Review "This latest book by the inventive and highly literate Mr. Eager is by all odds his best. The characters . . . are so alive they seem to step right out of the pages."
