There they are under the guardianship and tutelage of the Chrestomanci -- a nine-lived enchanter who polices the many worlds of the multiverse. Gwendolen thinks highly of herself and her magical skills, but it soon comes out that Cat is the more powerful. He himself is a nine-lived enchanter and will one day take up Chrestomancis job -- if he and Chrestomanci can stop Gwendolen from wreaking havoc in multiple worlds. In "The Lives of Christopher Chant" is the story of Chrestomancis own childhood and how he came to live at the Castle himself. With distracted parents, a nefarious uncle, and a severe guardian who was Chrestomanci before Christopher, its no wonder that Christopher keeps losing his lives. 521 1 $a Ages 8-12. 600 00 $a Chrestomanci $c (Fictitious character) $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Siblings $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Witches $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Wizards $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20221202012320.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1DA7A5B6720F11EDB6E4AA0447ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
