It is turning into the Golden Age of the innocent middle grade book. Laurel Snyder's (Up and Down the Scratchy Mountains) sophmore title is a young middle grade fantasy in the classic style of Edward Eager and Edith Nesbit, Any Which Wall is a time- and world-traveling adventure of four kids who find a magical wall in the cornfields of Iowa.

Four kids, a mysterious wall, and a good helping of common magic!

If you had a magic wall that could take you to any place and any time, where would you go? Would you want to visit castles and desert islands? Would you want to meet famous wizards, terrible pirates, beautiful queens, and dastardly outlaws? If so, then you are just like Henry and Emma, and Roy and Susan-and you will probably like this story a lot. In fact, you might even wish something similar would happen to you!

In Any Which Wall, author Laurel Snyder proves that you don't have to be an orphan, know a dragon, or even be a child to get a taste of magic. You just have to keep your mind open and willing to let it happen. And when you do find magic (like Henry, Emma, Roy, and Susan), you might be surprised that along with all the fun, you also find out new things about your friends, your family, and maybe even a little bit about who you really want to be.
