When four children (and their baby brother makes five) manage to uncover the long-dormant Psammead (in plain English, then, Sand-Fairy) in a gravel pit, they have the chance of one wish a day that lasts until sunset. But you should be careful what you wish for - as Cyril, Anthea, Robert and Jane find out! (Summary by James Pyle)

Edith Nesbit is a great writer I love all her books but especially this one sense it was the first one I read. I would say it is definitely a must read

Charming and strange!

Nesbit’s unique sense of humor shines through. The narrator’s way of reading the children’s parts is a little odd, but not awful.
