In this new Chrestomanci novel, a sequel to The Lives of Christopher Chant, Jones once more turns her attention to a confused adolescent discovering his talents--this time twelve-year-old Conrad Tesdinic. Jones has a genius for inventiveness, humor, and flair: as usual, everyone in the cast has an essential part to play in a tricky, satisfying plot.
