Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this multiple parallel universes of the Twelve Related Worlds, only an enchanter with nine lives is powerful enough to control the rampant misuse of magic--and to hold the title Chrestomanci... The Chants are a family strong in magic, but neither Christopher Chant nor Cat Chant can work even the simplest of spells. Who could have dreamed that both Christopher and Cat were born with nine lives--or that they could lose them so quickly? Review:"The concept is ingenious." Horn Book Review:"[The Lives of Christopher Chant is] wonderfully entertaining. A born storyteller weaves her own brand of magic." Horn Book (starred review) Review:"[In The Lives of Christopher Chant] Jones has written a mesmerizing account of the boyhood adventure of the famous magician who starred in Charmed Life. Her ability to mesh magic and realism results in an enthralling story about a boy just discovering his powers." Publishers Weekly Review:"The Lives of Christopher Chant is fun and exciting." VOYA Review:"A rich cast of characters is assembled, from this world and others. Jones writes of magic with such absolute conviction that there is no room for doubt." School Library Journal About the AuthorDiana Wynne Jones has been writing outstanding fantasy novels for more than twenty-five years and is one of the most distinguished writers in this field. With unlimited imagination, she combines dazzling plots, an effervescent sense of humor, and emotional truths in stories that delight readers of all ages. Ms. Jones says, "Each time I write a book, I try to say something new, with the result that each book turns out differently from the ones before—which surprises, puzzles, and pleases me in about equal proportions." Her work spans from the epic novels of "The Dalemark Quartet" to the hilarious Chrestomanci books to the inventive Howl's Moving Castle (recently a major motion picture directed by Hayao Miyazaki) to individual gems such as The Merlin Conspiracy. Diana Wynne Jones lives in Bristol, England. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
