The Chronicles of Chrestomanci Volume 1 Charmed Life / The Lives of Christopher Chant Diana Wynne Jones Books

Diana Wynne Jones is one of my favorite children writers and Chrestomanci series are one of her best (but the just does not have bad books). Recently I had a pleasure to share my love for Chrestomanci books with my 9 year old daughter and she fell in love too. She read almost all Chrestomanci books by now. As always with Diana Wynne Jones it's a treat and a combination of the captivating story, wonderful language and interesting characters. It is sad that her books are not well known in the US.

The Chronicles of Chrestomanci Volume 1 Charmed Life / The Lives of Christopher Chant Diana Wynne Jones Books Reviews

Purchased for daughter she loves series.
Beautifully written beautiful artwork. Love it its fantastic.
A great read & fantastic new author for me 〰Another thrilling series to own & reread for many years to come 〰〰‼️👌
If you are a Zilpha Keatley Snyder fan, a Susan Cooper fan, a Lloyd Alexander fan, a Sylvia Engdahl fan, or just a fan of sweet sweet magic, you'll love these books by Diana Wynne Jones. I really love Charmed Life, about Cat and his sister Gwendolyn -- awesome. Diana Wynne Jones can create a separate world with amazing internal validity and you absolutely fall in love with the characters.
Dogsbody is my ALL TIME favorite of her books.
This series make a wonderful gift.
I found this book listed on the internet in a blog about books to read if you were suffering from Harry Potter withdrawals.

Well, I wasn't - but I was still interested in good fantasy fiction. So I gave this one a try and was very pleasantly surprised.

A couple of warnings for those of you who are [..........]about reading in order - the second book in this two book compilation actually takes place before the first one. It doesn't hurt to read them out of order, and in some cases may actually read better as you learn about Christopher Chant and how he became the person he is in Charmed Life. If you are really uptight about it, then read the second story first. But I think you are better off reading them in the order they appear in the book.

The Chrestomanchi series focuses on special people who have 9 lives and strong magical powers. They take the title Chrestomanchi and their job is to use their 9 lives and the special magical powers to make sure that people in their world do not abuse magic.

There are many worlds and some people that can travel among the different worlds and bring powerful (and illegal) things like dragon's blood back with them - these things must be regulated and policed to make sure that people with magical powers who mean ill are not able to run roughshod over the world.

Unlike Harry Potter, which is one book after another of Harry being pursued by Voldemort and no one believing him or Dumbledore and the same plot lines one after another, the Chrestomanchi series is inventive and different from book to book. I highly recommend it - and as you can see from the other reviewers, I am not alone.
If you are new to Diana Wynne Jones, this is the best book to read, besides Howl's Moving Castle. The series jumps around a lot, but this gives the beginnings of the two main Chrestomancis. Even though they are kid books, they are great fun for an adult to read as well.
Incredible series and wonderful writing, bought all three (three volumes with two "books" in each) for my stepdaughter who loved Harry Potter and Percy Jackson but is getting a little more into irony and a bit less... lets say Disney happy-happy pink flower princess-y, as she gets into her teen years. Its just got that starting bite of sarcasm and darkness without it being a bad influence. And to be clear I read (and THOROUGHLY enjoyed) the entire series as an adult before buying her copies.
