The Pinhoe Egg - Chrestomanci Series - Thryft

Magical misadventures, charming mayhem, Chrestomanci's whimsy.

If you're fascinated by the interplay of magic with the mundane, "The Pinhoe Egg" ticks all the right boxes. You'll dive into a world where every spell cast carries weight, and even a seasoned enchanter like Chrestomanci might find himself outpaced by the unexpected. The balance of Diana Wynne Jones's humor with a well-crafted fantasy adventure makes this a delightful read, especially if you enjoy stories where chaos serves as a prelude to wonder.
