The Lives of Christopher Chant (The Chrestomanci Series, Book 4)
Diana Wynne Jones
Glorious new rejacket of a Diana Wynne Jones favourite, exploring the childhood of Chrestmanci – now a book with extra bits!
Discovering 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. But he soon finds that destiny is difficult to avoid, and that having more than the usual number of lives is pretty inconvenient – especially when you lose them as easily as he does! Then an evil smuggler, known only as The Wraith, threatens the ways of the worlds and forces Christopher to take action…Reviews
When I read it my heart was beating with the anticipation of the plot.

This book is just a backstory for Christopher Chant, the Chrestomanci mentioned in previous books, and introduces his current wife, previous Asheth, Millie, and the struggles of being a nine-lived-enchanter. Surprisingly, Christopher did not originally wish to be Chrestomanci, or study magic. I would recommend this book for 9-12 year olds, preferably lovers of magic and mystery.

This is one of my favourite books. It is about a young boy called Christopher Chant going on adventures in his dreams but then it all goes wrong.
