SURELY GWENDOLYN CHANT WAS DESTINED FOR GREAT THINGS.

Her magic was string.  Strong enough to gain the respect of all the witches and warlocks on Coven Street.  String enough to draw the attention of the awesome Chrestomanci.  Strong enough to get Gwendolyn and her brother, Cat, transported to Chrestomanci's castle where Gwendolyn planned to learn even more powerful magic from the great enchanter.

But the castle was not as Cat and Gwendolyn expected.  Cat watched Gwendolyn rebel as Chrestomanci ignored her talents - until she had unleashed a magic so powerful that she couldn't control it.  A fearsome magic so strong their whole world would reel under the force of it.

"AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS!"
- ANDRE NORTON

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."

Witch Week

A wild comic fantasy from a master of the supernatural

There are good witches and bad witches, but the law says that all witches must be burned at the stake.  So when an anonymous note warns, "Someone in this class is a witch," the students in 6B are nervous - especially the boy who's just discovers that he can cast spells and the girl who was named after the most famous witch of all.

A bewitching fantasy by a master of the supernatural

The Lives of Christopher Chant is the adventure-filled story of the boyhood of Chrestomanci, the famous magician who also appears in Charmed Life, Witch Week, and The Magicians of Caprona.
