Okay, but not my favorite.
Revisado: 04-04-25
I really like the series, but this one is not my fave. The alternate world is almost too oppressive and the characters were not as engaging or relatable as in other books in the series. It felt rushed and like the story and ending weren't completely put together.

The Pinhoes don't want the Chrestomanci to find out that they've been misusing their magic, but when Cat finds a mysterious old egg at Gammer's place, the Chrestomanci is sure to notice. Author Diana Wynne Jones has won the prestigious Guardian and Mythopoeic Awards. The Pinhoe Egg, the fifth book in her popular Chrestomanci series, brings back Cat Chant.

I love the Chrestomanci stories because they are full of magic and fun with relatable kid characters who often discover they're more than they had previously known. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Magical Adventure!
Revisado: 03-25-25
I love the Chrestomanci series books because they have enough in common to keep the reader grounded, but each adventure is unique. Conrad. like all the main characters is believable and relatable and the story is just so much fun to read. The narration was perfect as it appropriate and not at all distracting. It let the story shine through!

Morgan's voice was crisp and current and her experiences told in a way that pulled me in to the center of the action. This was a really good read!

Fun, interesting, and imaginative story told by the main character as he writes a journal of amazing experiences in retrospect. it tends to meander at the end, but the satisfying ending makes up for it!

This book has just earned a place among my favorites! The exotic settings and relatable characters are a great beginning, but add a page turningly suspenseful story line crammed full of unpredictable magic, and you have my idea of a good time! Thoroughly enjoyable!

Revisado: 10-24-24
An enchanting re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty where the women are not helpless and the fairies all take an active part! The main character, Rosie is strong and opinionated, but also loving and gentle. I really enjoyed how the story kept me guessing until the last page!

Twelve-year-old Dory Byrne lives with her brothers on New York City's Lower East Side, waiting impatiently through the darkest hours of World War II for her pop to come home from fighting Hitler. Legally speaking, Dory's brother, Fish, isn't old enough to be in charge of Dory and her younger brother, Pike, but the neighborhood knows the score and, like Pop always says, "the neighborhood will give you what you need." There's the lady from the bakery, who saves them leftover crullers. The kind landlord who checks in on them.

It is 1940 and William, 12, Edmund, 11, and Anna, nine, aren't terribly upset by the death of the not-so-grandmotherly grandmother who has taken care of them since their parents died. But the children do need a guardian, and in the dark days of World War II London, those are in short supply, especially if they hope to stay together. Could the mass wartime evacuation of children from London to the countryside be the answer?

I thought the children's personalities were perfectly engaging with a reluctant leader, a mouthy ne'er do well, and a plucky little sister, all suffering the tragedies of wartime. The story kept me cheering for them the whole way through!

The characters were engaging and the story was enjoyable with enough action to keep me turning pages/listening. I felt the books would have been as good or better without the profanity.
