Description

Glorious new rejacket of a Diana Wynne Jones favourite, featuring Chrestomanci now a book with extra bits!

SOMEONE IN THIS CLASS IS A WITCH

When the note, written in ordinary ballpoint, turns up in the homework books Mr Crossley is marking, he is very upset. For this is Larwood House, a school for witch-orphans, where witchcraft is utterly forbidden. And yet magic keeps breaking out all over the place like measles!

The last thing they need is a visit from the Divisional Inquisitor. If only Chrestomanci could come and sort out all the trouble.

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
