I hadn't read Half Magic since childhood (and I'm not sure I've ever read any of the sequels/companion books), and I was thrilled how well it holds up. It's REALLY FUN to read aloud, lots of drama and screaming silliness, and even with the obviously past setting with a rare and exciting motorcar and nickel bus fares and children going off to the cinema by themselves on a whim, it doesn't come across as dated. The very few not-quite-PC moments were easy to avoid with a quick change in wording or address directly with a quick discussion of irony.
