"Why are you so happy?" Cat asked Gwendolen.
"Because he was touched at our orphaned state," said Gwendolen.  "He's going to adopt us.  My fortune is made!"

Everyone says that Gwendolen Chant is a gifted witch with astonishing powers, so it suits her enormously when she is taken to life at Chrestomanci Castle.  Her brother Eric (better known as Cat) is not so keen, for he has no talent for magic at all.

However, life with Chrestomanci and his family isn't what either of them expects.  Worst of all, magic is completely forbidden outside of lessons!  Gwendolen is furious and sets out to get herself noticed - with explosive results!
