What about Edward Eager? Half-Magic, Seven-Day Magic, Knight's Castle, and so on.
I love those also!
At a certain point in my childhood I realized I could happily graze in the "E"s and read Estes, Enright and Eager.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't know Estes or Enright, but Edward Eager was my jam. Him and E. Nesbit. Also E.W. Hildick. And Allan W. Eckert. So I also liked E's, it seems.

I should track down the Enright stuff and see if it bears up. My middle school library had a big 3-volume omnibus of the Melendy books, and I regularly checked it out. That and teh volumes of the encyclopedia, thick enough to keep me occupied for more than a day or two.

oooh, definitely! I loved the Melendy books, but I think they're too old for that age.
