Interpretation Supposing Books The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Vol. 1 (Chrestomanci #1-2)

There is an alternate cover here.

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?

Assess Based On Books The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Vol. 1 (Chrestomanci #1-2)

I read an article a few years back -- wish I could remember which publication; hopefully they've gone under -- which claimed that Diana Wynne Jones plagiarized Harry Potter for Charmed Life. As I recall, the accusation was largely based on these facts:(i) Harry Potter and Cat Chant are both young, male, British wizards who also happen to be orphans (and the reviewer inaccurately claimed that Cat wore glasses).(ii) Harry and Cat are both taken to a place to learn magic.(iii) What, you need more

Somehow, I missed Dianna Wynne Jones during my reading heyday in the '80s. So my first introduction to her was through Hayao Miyazaki. My second introduction was slightly later through a friend who had gotten these collected volumes of the Chrestomanci series. Recently, I found my own used copies. I had already read the first book through Kindle, and planned to just skim it as a reminder before going into the second book, but I ended up re-reading the entire thing instead, which should serve as

Long before J.K. Rowling ever invented Harry Potter, Diana Wynne Jones penned the Chrestomanci series, in which children perform magic (or fail to do so) in worlds which resemble ours but are ever so slightly different. Like Rowling, Jones infused her fantasy novels for children with enough wit and interesting ideas to make them appealing to adult readers; unlike Rowling, she never made it big, although one of her books, Howl's Moving Castle , was adapted into an enjoyable anime movie by Hayao

A friend recommended the Chrestomanci series to me and I must admit after reading Charmed Life, I almost didn't continue. It was too vague and confusing because the main character did not understand things either. He finally begins to understand and the book abruptly ended. I did end up reading The Lives of Christopher Chant and I liked it a whole lot more. It also made me like the original book more. So, I would definitely read the Chrestomanci books in a different order. As I got on to post my

The second book, The Lives of Christopher Chant, is simply -- and I believe this is the official term -- amazeballs. Millie may be one of the best characters ever, and Throgmorton, Christopher, and Tacroy are pretty delightful as well. Everything ends very happily and nicely, but that's okay with me. Reading Diana Wynne Jones always cheers me up.

Cute Book, I think if you liked Harry Potter, you may like this.
