Eagerly

There's a moment early in Magic or Not? where the kids talk about another of Eager's books, Half Magic. Which at first struck me as gratuitous self-promotion, and then after a moment's thought as betrayal. On consideration, it was, in fact, legit.

( Discussion, with a single mild spoiler. )

So: the fictionalization of Half Magic is to purpose, and works, and so must be forgiven. ( However, he blows it in the next sentence. )

On to the next, and last, book: Seven-Day Magic. Which is his best. I'm willing to listen to arguments otherwise, but you'd be wrong.
