Faced with a dull summer in the city, Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha suddenly find themselves involved in a series of extraordinary adventures after Jane discovers an ordinary-looking coin that seems to grant wishes. - Baker & Taylor
Four children spending their summer in a city apartment enjoy a series of fantastic adventures by double-wishing on an ancient coin, in a re-release of a classic tale that includes new cover art by Quentin Blake. Reissue. - HoughtonIt all begins with a strange coin on a sun-warmed sidewalk.
    Jane finds the coin, and becasue she and her sblings are having the worst, most dreadfully boring summer ever, she idly wishes something exciting would happen.
    And something does: Her wish is granted.
    Or not quite. Only half of her wish comes true.
    It turns out the coin grants wishesâbut only by half, so that you must wish for twice as much as you want.
    Wishing for two times some things is a cinch, but other doubled wishes only cause twice as much trouble. What is half of twice a talking cat? Or to be half-again twice not-here? And how do you double your most heartfelt wish, the one you care about so much it has to be perfect?
