The Lives of Christopher Chant (Chrestomanci Series) - Fantasy Adventure Novel for Teens & Adults - Perfect for Book Clubs & Fantasy Lovers

Diana Wynne Jones is one of my favourite authors of books for children and teens. Her imagination knew no bounds and she mixed fantastic creativity with hilarity. Her series of books about the Chrestomanci, a nine-lived enchanter who lives in a world parallel to ours, is one of her best works.This book could be considered the first in the series although it is not listed as such. It is about a young boy who is destined to grow to be the Chrestomanci, the enchanter who must regulate all the magic and its users in the twelve series of parallel worlds. He must have nine lives and only someone who has no duplicates or doppelgangers in all of the worlds can have nine lives, a very, very rare person indeed.Christpher Chant does not want to be the Chrestomanci and how he comes to terms with his destiny makes a wonderful, exciting story. I hope you buy this book and its companions for your child, your best friends and, most of all, for yourself because these books are written for all ages and I know you will enjoy them. They are especially good for reading aloud.The next book to read in this series would be Conrad's Fate which happens about three years after The Lives of Christopher Chant. Happy reading!
