I think Witch Week is my least favourite of the Chrestomanci books. · Joan Aiken: Nevertheless, I'd not read it before and have only patchy knowledge of the films so, though I was familiar with the general outlines of the series, it wasn't going over old ground. My last recommendation is another recycle/recall, but really I don't think you can do better: Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci series, beginning with Charmed Life. He's a strong reader in his own right and is well able to cope with run-of-the-mill kids' books, so I'm leaving the Horrid Henries of this world for him to explore on his own. However, for slightly Diana Wynne Jones: “Charmed Life” (Chrestomanci Chronicles I). Charmed Life (The Worlds of Chrestomanci). Publisher: UK – Harper Collins Children's Books. All her books deal with the idea of a series of alternate universes that exist next to our own. Whether its a brand new read like “The House of Many Ways”, or re-reading an old favourite like “The Magicians of Caprona” – I'm never disappointed. One of the biggest compliments of my life was when an editor compared the ending of my manuscript to Diana Wynne Jones's work because I had what he called a cast of thousands plus a complicated ending. The story is refreshingly and childishly funny, which I prefer over the current tendency yuin 11:09 am. It isn't bad, but I prefer Charmed Life or the Lives of Christopher Chant or The Pinhoe Egg. 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. Diana Wynne Jones is one of those authors who I turn to when in need of some comfort reading. I picked this book at a charity book sale after reading Emma's wonderful post on Diana's books as I haven't read any of her books for a very long time. In The Lives of Charmed Life featur es a Chrestomanci who turns out to be the grown-up Christopher Chant. View/Purchase: The Book Depository, Chapters/Indigo.ca, Goodreads. €�The Magicians of Caprona” is part of the “Chronicles of Chrestomanci” cycle of books that started with “Charmed Life”. Chrestomanci doesn't come in until maybe the third quarter of the book, so I didn't realise at first that it was part of the series - and now I want to find out who this mysterious personage (or personages) is (are). Rowling's own style, after all, becomes very much less cosy and more challenging (not least in the miseries and unfairness through which she tempers her teenaged hero) in the course of seven books, so it's not such a stretch to traverse a largely hostile Middle Earth, with a few small and vulnerable . The most powerful enchanter in the series of known worlds is obligated to be trained to police magic in those worlds.
