In This Collection:Charmed LifeThe Lives of Christopher ChantConrad's FateWitch WeekThe Magicians of CapronaThe Pinhoe EggCharmed LifeEverybody says that Gwendolyn Chant is a gifted witch with astonishing powers, so it suits her when she is taken to live in Chrestomanci Castle.The Lives of Christopher ChantDiscovering 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.Conrad's FateConrad is young, good at heart, and yet is apparently suffering from the effects of such bad karma that there is nothing in his future but terrible things. Unless he can alter his circumstances, well, quite frankly, he is DOOMED.Witch WeekSOMEONE IN THIS CLASS IS A WITCH When the note, written in ordinary ballpoint, turns up in the homework books Mr Crossley is marking, he is very upset. For this is Larwood House, a school for witch-orphans, where witchcraft is utterly forbidden. And yet magic keeps breaking out all over the place - like measles!The Magicians of CapronaThe magical business is run by two families - the Montanas and the Petrocchis - and they are deadly rivals. So when all the spells start going wrong, they naturally blame each other. Chrestomanci suspects an evil enchanter; others say it is a White Devil. Or maybe a different kind of magic is needed to save CapronaThe Pinhoe EggSpells always have consequences and it's Chrestomanci's job to make sure everything is safely under control. Even so, in the village around Chrestomanci Castle, all sorts of secret magical misuse is going on.
