![]() ![]() And everything leading up to it was great, as well, especially Charles’s turn-around. What previously could have torn apart the world fixed it, instead.

When Chrestomanci is not vague, that is the time to pay attention to what he is saying or doing. The room seemed to go very quiet and sinister and unloving” (Jones 480). I love this passage: “ seemed astounded, and not vague at all. His reprimands to the students who sought him out, and in fact, his entire dealings with them were spot-on and satisfying, if only because here, at last, is someone who can handle them. That being said, I love Chrestomanci’s appearance in this book. Witch Week is perhaps my least favorite book in the Chronicles of Chrestomanci. Could it be fat Nan or sluggish Charles? Mysterious Nirupam or shifty-eyed Brian?” Clearly it’s not the popular Simon or the perfect Theresa. ![]() With witty, erudite writing, Jones tells of the adventures of the class of 6B as they set about to discover who among them is a witch. Jones plunks her readers directly into the life of Larwood House, a school in a present-day England that’s a lot like the world we know, except for one major difference: witches are everywhere, and they are ruthlessly hunted by inquisitors. ![]() And, in the alternate reality described in Diana Wynne Jones’s Witch Week, that’s not at all a good thing to be. Witch Week is the third book (fourth chronologically) in the Chronicles of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynne Jones. ![]()
