The Magicians of Caprona

An enchanting fantasy by a master of the supernatural

Tonino is the only person in the famous Montana household who wasn't born with an instinct for creating spells, but he has other gifts.  His ability to communicate with cats just might help defend the city of Caprona against a mysterious enchanter - but only if Tonino can learn to cooperate with a girl from the hated Petrocchi family of spell-makers.  In this spirited tale of adventure, Tonino learns that sometimes a boy, a girl, and a cat can do more than all the magicians of Caprona combined.

The Magicians of Caprona features the debonair enchanter Chrestomanci, who also appears in Charmed Life, Witch Week, and The Lives of Christopher Chant.

"A gorgeous concoction of humor, suspense, and romance."
- The Horn Book

"Chalk up another triumph for Jones, who is as gifted at spellbinding as any of her characters."
- Publishers Weekly

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
