Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones
Everybody thinks that Gwendolen Chant is a gifted witch with astonishing powers, so it suits her enormously when she is taken to live in Chrestomanci Castle. The first in the phenomenally successful Chrestomanci series, this is the story of a teenage witch and her long suffering brother Cat. A classic addition to the fantasy genre, following Witch Week...Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worlds. Yet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels, a sense of urgency that links Jones's most outrageous plots to her readers' hopes and fears...
