Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A bewitching comic fantasy by a
master of the supernatural
Cat doesn't mind living in the shadow of his sister, Gwendolen, the most promising young witch ever seen on Coven Street. But trouble starts brewing the moment the two orphans are summoned to live in Chrestomanci Castle. Frustrated that the witches of the castle refuse to acknowledge her talents, Gwendolen conjures up a scheme that could throw whole worlds out of whack.
"Altogether a delightful book." Times Literary Supplement.
"The concept is ingenious." The Horn Book.
"A Chrestomanci book."
"First published in Great Britain in 1977 by Macmillan London Ltd. ... Reissued in 2001 by Greenwillow Books, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers"--T.p. verso.
Gwendolen Chant and her brother Cat find the Chrestomanci family's magic powers difficult to counter with the inferior powers of the Coven Street witches.
Ages 10 up.
