Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When wishing for magic, it's hard not to wish for too much.
If Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha had stopped to think--oh, if they had only stopped to think !--they would have ordered magic by the pound, or by the day, or even by the halves as they had in Half Magic .
But no, they asked for magic by the lake --and now they have to deal with a whole lakeful of enchantment!
Soon the children are awash in magic. They find themselves cavorting with mermaids, outwitting pirates, and--with the help of a cranky old turtle--granting a little magical help to the one person who needs it most.
"An Odyssey/Harcourt Brace young classic."
Sequel to: Half magic.
On a vacation with their mother and stepfather, Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha find themselves overwhelmed with a lakeful of magical adventures after Mark captures an ancient turtle that seems to have extraordinary powers.
