Glorious new reprint of a Diana Wynne Jones Chrestomanci novel – now a book with extra bits!
Conrad is young, good-hearted, and yet is apparently suffering from the effects of such bad karma that there is nothing in his future but terrible things. Unless he can change his circumstances – well, quite frankly, he is DOOMED.
Conrad is sent in disguise to Stallery Mansion, to infiltrate the magical fortress that has power over the entire town of Stallchester, and to discover the identity of the person who is affecting his Fate so badly. Then he has to eliminate that person. But can any plan really be that simple and straightforward? Of course it can't! And things start to go very strangely for Conrad from the moment he meets the boy called Christopher…
This is trademark DWJ – packed with laugh-out-loud humor, insane logic, spot-on observations, organized chaos, and all wrapped up in an exciting adventure that oozes magic from every seam. Literally.
