However, after his sister Gwendolen gets into trouble, Cat discovers he is actually an enchanter with the potential to become the Chrestomanci, the lord of the entire castle. Read the entire Chronicles of Chrestomanci series to continue following Cat’s adventures. I loved this book as a kid. In Dutch the main character has my name, which made it extra special. Can´t wait to read it to my son. Basic Reason for Beginning: It's DWJ! And I adored Howl's Moving Castle. Basic Reason for Finishing: *low whistle of approval* Gorgeous. Full book review here This was a favourite of mine as a child and I have read it many times. Each time is as enchanting as the last, and always serves to remind me of just how fabulous an author DWJ really was. This book will always remind me of my childhood. It's the whole reason I'm in to SF&F at all, really, and I will always love it. Hum. Now I want to re-read the rest of the series... 0.057 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
