\nThe story begins when a teacher finds a note saying ‘Someone in this class is a witch’<\/em>.
\nSet in a boarding school in an alternate version of England where magic is illegal but magical ability is commonplace. The story is mainly told from the perspective of a couple of the school’s misfits, Nan Pilgrim and Charles Morgan.
\nWhen I first read this in the dim and distant past I really identified with Charles. What that says about me, I don’t know.
\nI’m not going to spoil the plot of the book, but fair to say it involves the discovery of magical ability, bullying, official stupidity and Chrestomanci turns up.
\nI unreservedly recommend this book, hell I recommend everything Diana Wynne Jones has ever written.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
