And how do you double your most heartfelt wish, the one you care about so much it has to be perfect?

It turns out the coin grants wishes-but only by half, so that you must wish for twice as much as you want. Jane finds the coin, and because she and her siblings are having the worst, most dreadfully boring summer ever, she idly wishes something exciting would happen.Īnd something does: Her wish is granted. It all begins with a strange coin on a sun-warmed sidewalk. Book one in the series called "truly magic in a reader's hands" by Jack Gantos, Newbery Medal winner for Dead End in Norvelt. ![]()
