The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones

3.0

Wonderful children's book! DWJ had an incredible way of keeping the children children, not turning them into some seemingly heroes who came to out-power the adults in a splash and save the day as easily as counting 1-2-3.
I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. It tells so much about the Related Worlds with endless adventures that Christopher went on aimlessly as a kid.
The plot is quite simple and predictable. In this story, Christopher was between 5 and 12 years of age (I think) and was awefully childish and innocent. A good story for kids to learn the tricky person lesson. Do not trust anyone who says "don't tell your Mama" or "keep this a secret between us".
