The second book I found is The Magic Half  by Annie Barrows and it just came out in a paperback version.  Miri is the “extra” sibling in a family with two sets of twins – older brothers and younger sisters. The family has just moved to an old farmhouse in a new town, where the only good thing seems to be having her own bedroom. But, this bedroom isn’t just any bedroom, Miri’s ten-sided attic bedroom is special. When Miri gets sent to her room after accidentally hitting her big brother on the head with a shovel, she gets sent to her bedroom, but is it?  The reading level is 4.1 and is perfect for grades 3 – 5.
