Subject: stumper - wishing well
I would like to thank all of you who answered my stumper about kids
traveling through time. One of the series involved going into a wishing
well, and the collective wisdom is that it is The Well Wishers by Edward
Eager. I am amazed by how many of you recognized the book with so little
information given, and how many of you sent me publishers' information too!
I was aware of Half Magic by Edward Eager, but not of the series, so learned
a lot! Thank you!
