"One of the wittiest, sharpest children's fantasies ever written" - Katherine Rundell Glorious new rejacket of a Diana Wynne Jones classic award-winning favourite, featuring Chrestomanci - now a book with extra bits! Everybody says that Gwendolyn Chant is a gifted witch with astonishing powers, so it suits her enormously when she is taken to live in Chrestomanci Castle. Her brother Eric (better known as Cat) is not so keen, for he has no talent for magic at all. However, life with the great enchanter is not what either of them expects and sparks begin to fly! Winner of the Guardian Award. Part of Diana Wynne Jones' wider campaign for new publishing throughout 2025. We will roll out a gorgeous digital campaign across HCCB reaching 150k followers, and special DWJ packages will land with influencers, reaching 250k TikTokkers, to continue building on viral moments of Howl's Moving Castle. Competition: Harry Potter, Philip Pullman, Terry Pratchett.
