Publisher Comments:
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?

About the Author
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.

Growimg up magical is not easy, and Cat and Christopher sure know! This book is hilariusly funny, and full of adventures.By the end of the books, you almost wish YOU were a 9-lifed enchanter! Well, almost...

I totally loved this! Jones skillfully creates a believable magical world. She also manages to write completely believable child protagonists. Cat and Christopher, though they are often ignorant as to the intricacies of the world around them, never come off as stupid, just as kids, and they're not overly precocious, either. The books are an excellent mix of humor and adventure, and I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
