Cat has always looked up to his older sister Gwendolyn, who is a witch. Such a good witch, in fact, that her and Cat's presence comes to the attention of the powerful enchanter, Chrestomanci, who takes them to live at his castle. At the castle, Gwendolyn is enraged that she is forbade to practice magic, and vows to enact revenge on Chrestomanci. Cat struggles to unravel the mysteries that are unfolding, and begins to realize that Gwendolyn may not be as perfect as she seems.
The review of this Book prepared by Chrestomanci
Orphaned Cat looks up to his sister Gwendolyn - practically worships her, in fact. After all, she's a great witch and a very forceful personality, and Cat is nobody at all. Gwendolyn is such a great witch that she gets the pair of them invited to live with Chrestomanci, the great enchanter. At Chrestomanci's castle, Cat learns that Gwendolyn isn't exactly the perfect person he thought she was - and that he has some rather special abilities of his own. This book is another of Diana Wynne Jones's amusing Chrestomanci Chronicles.
