Any Which Wall

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Four children stumble upon a magical wish-granting wall. After some trial and error, they figure out the wall's magic and begin their explorations. Throughout, an omniscient narrator instructs readers, reflecting this contemporary-set story's old-fashioned sensibility, also seen in Pham's black-and-white line art. Snyder acknowledges her debt to Edward Eager; fans of Jeanne Birdsall's Penderwicks books will also be pleased.
