Seven-Day Magic by Edward Eager
1. Miss Dowitcher the librarian totally knows the book is magic. She checked it out when she was young and had an adventure of her own.
2. “They all played an old-fashioned game called Steps, also known as Red Light (but not to be confused with the other game of that name sometimes referred to in less refined circles as Cheezit).”
I assume the first game is Red Light Green Light because Wikipedia says it's called Grandmother's Footsteps in the UK. I would love to know what Cheezit is.
3. I am a bit concerned about Grannie's age and mental state combined with Susan and John's youth. What if she dies or requires full-time care before they're old enough to live on their own? I suppose Barnaby's parents will look after them. They're already doing it a little.
4. I love Barnaby's self-insert story. And Abbie's first line of a poem - “Alas, for human dignity!”
5. I had forgotten that Barnaby's mother was a realtor.
