First edition. The second of Diana Wynne Jones beloved Chrestomanci novels. In the city of Caprona, the Montana and Petrocchi families are master spell-makers and bitter rivals (think Montagues and Capulets). Young Tonino Montana is the only member of his family who wasn’t born with an instinct for creating spells, but he can communicate with cats and that just might help save Caprona against a mysterious enchanter. But only if Tonino can learn to cooperate with a girl from the hated Petrocchi family! Can even Chrestomanci get them to set aside their enmity to save their city?
