Half Magic by Edward Eager

4.0

Maybe more for you than your kids, as part of History of Fantasy.
I found this in a list of 100 best Fantasy Books.
It will of course lead me to the works of E. Nesbit.

Anyway, 50s book about a 20s world, but still fresh. I enjoyed it straight up, but also noticed at the end a little chuckle for the grownups. The kids' mom is Women's Club Editor for the local paper, and she gets to write about an event by the League of Needless Women.

The kids make sensible decisions, and there's a happy ending. Read it, it won't take long.
