Description

Glorious new rejacket of a Diana Wynne Jones favourite, featuring Chrestomanci now a book with extra bits!
Spells always have consequences and it's Chrestomanci's job to make sure everything is safely under control. Even so, in the village around Chrestomanci Castle, all sorts of secret magical misuse is going on. And when Cat Chant finds the Pinhoe egg, chaos is just the beginning!

A masterpiece of magic, mayhem and mirth!

Reviews

Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worlds. Yet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels, a sense of urgency that links Joness most outrageous plots to her readers hopes and fears
Publishers Weekly

Truly magical guaranteed to leave you gasping even hotter than Potter
The Bookseller

Diana Wynne Jones could teach Stephen King and JK Rowling a thing or two [she] has a skill for inserting just the right amount of detail in her written words, leaving you satiated but not stuffed. SFX
