Description:

The Lives of Christopher Chant is a dazzling, inventive fantasy from Diana Wynne Jones — one of the most beloved and influential British fantasy authors of all time — and a prequel to Charmed Life in the celebrated Chrestomanci series. Christopher Chant comes from a family bursting with magical talent, yet seems to have none himself — except that every night, he slips through the mysterious Place Between and wanders extraordinary parallel worlds he calls the Almost Anywheres. When he discovers he can bring real objects back from these dream journeys, his secret trips catch dangerous attention. Born with nine lives and extraordinary power that only silver can block, Christopher is destined to become the Chrestomanci — controller of all magic across the Related Worlds. The only problem is, he'd far rather become a professional cricketer. Witty, imaginative, and endlessly inventive. Recommended for readers aged 9 and above.
