A children’s fantasy novel centered on four siblings who discover an ancient coin that grants them wishes, albeit only at half strength. For instance, wishing for twice something only yields one-and-a-half times the original amount. The story follows their adventures and misadventures as they learn to navigate the complexities of limited magical power.
The narrative’s significance lies in its exploration of responsibility, resourcefulness, and the consequences of impulsive desires. Its enduring appeal stems from its relatable characters and the engaging manner in which it addresses themes of family dynamics and moral decision-making within a fantastical framework. The work contributes to the landscape of juvenile literature by presenting a whimsical narrative with underlying lessons about problem-solving and the nature of wishes.
