This is HALF MAGIC, by Edward Eager.  Three libraries I've been
in have had Eager's books in the children's section, so you might
try there.  His other books are

KNIGHT'S CASTLE 
THE TIME GARDEN*
SEVEN DAY MAGIC*
THE WELL-WISHERS*
MAGIC OR NOT

and one other that I can't remember at the moment.

(*If anyone has copies of these books that they wish to sell,
please send me mail.)
