My Review:

I give this book series a 5 out of 5. 

These were absolutely delightful. They were nice fast reads, and I definitely recommend them for anyone with young kids or even the adult that wants a quick, fun read. I know that I can't wait to share these stories with my own son in a few years. Each book is its own story, but they are all linked in different ways. Half Magic and Magic by the Lake have the same children as main characters. The same goes for Knight's Castle and The Time Garden; as well as Magic or Not? and The Well-Wishers. Seven-Day Magic includes a new set of children, but there are aspects from the other books which help link everything together.
