(Volume I in the series)
Imagine if there were 9 worlds connected through strange paths. 8 children died before their time and left you with their life - thus giving you a total of 9 lives. Special people like that are born into our world. Special people like Cat whose sister, Gwendolyn, is a witch who knows his secret. Or Christopher Chant who becomes Chrestomanci before meeting his nephew - Cat. Diana Wynn Jones does a fabulous job weaving the lives of Cat and Christopher through this two-books-in-one title. The first "Charmed Life" deals with Cat and his introduction to the world of magic. The second "The Lives of Christopher Chant" follow Chrestomanci as a child first discovering he can enter other worlds - but thinking it's only a dream. There are villains in both stories - hurdles to cross - magic -adventure and lots of neat puzzles to solve. Take the time to read and enjoy this book. You'll be glad that you did.
