The Pinhoe Egg by Diana Wynne Jones
Magical mayhem is afoot in a new adventure set in the worlds of the nine-lived enchanter Chrestomanci.Praise for CONRAD’S FATE
"CONRAD'S FATE is quintessential Chrestomanci – funny, smart, twisty, exciting, tricky, delightful and always perfectly magical" Neil Gaiman
“Diana Wynne Jones ought to be crowned with coloured garlands because she is the best writer of magical fantasy for children in this country … you’ll gleefully swallow Conrad’s Fate as another unpredictable dose of animal spirits.” Evening Standard
“Diana Wynne Jones could teach Stephen King and JK Rowling a thing or two … [she] has a skill for inserting just the right amount of detail in her written words, leaving you satiated but not stuffed.” SFX
“This witty, satisfying story can be read on its own, but is much richer when read as part of the series. It's a must for all Jones fans.” School Library Journal
“A wild romp with a fast-paced and satisfying conclusion, Conrad's humorous adventures will appeal to Christopher's existing fans and Jones neophytes alike.” Kirkus
