"Earwig tiene diez anos, vive en el orfanato San Morwald y no quiere dejar de hacerlo. Para ahuyentar a posibles padres adoptivos, hace uso de sus poderes magicos. Sin embargo, un dia aparecen Bella Yaga y Mandragora, dos extranos y terrorificos personajes que consiguen adoptarla. Bella Yaga, que resulta ser una bruja poderosisima, convierte a Earwig en su ayudante. Gracias a su amigo Thomas, un viejo gato que habla, la nina se inicia en el arte de los conjuros, que utiliza para burlar los castigos de Bella Yaga. Asi, y no sin perturbar la tranquilidad del demoniaco habitante de la casa, Mandragora, Earwig consigue que la bruja se preste a ensenarle magia" --

In this multiple parallel universes of the Twelve Related Worlds, only an enchanter with nine lives is powerful enough to control the rampant misuse of magic -- and to hold the title Chrestomanci... There is a world in which the peaceful city-state of Caprona is threatened by the malevolent machinations of a mysterious enchanter...and another in which magic is outlawed and witches are still burned at the stake. In two worlds the practice of magic has gone dangerously awry, there is only one solution -- call upon the Chrestomanci.

An egg leads Cat Chant and Marianne Pinhoe on an extraordinary adventure filled with excitement and mystery. As they explore the implications of their discovery, they uncover its unique qualities and the secrets it holds. Their journey delves into themes of friendship and the unexpected, promising a blend of wonder and intrigue.

The childhood of Chrestomanci. Everything in this book happens at least twenty-five years before the story told in Charmed Life... Discovering that he has nine lives and is destined to be the next 'Chrestomanci' is not part of Christopher's plans for the future: he'd much rather play cricket and wander around his secret dream worlds. But he soon finds that destiny is difficult to avoid, and that having more than the usual number of lives is pretty inconvenient - especially when you lose them as easily as he does! Then an evil smuggler, known only as The Wraith, threatens the ways of the worlds and forces Christopher to take action...

A new look for one of Diana Wynne Jones' funniest and most popular novels.

The adventures of the Chrestomanci, an enchanter with nine lives, whose job is to control the practice of magic in the infinite parallel universes of the Twelve Related Worlds
