The Lives of Christopher Chant (Chrestomanci, #2)

Really fun. Favorite DWJ so far. Sometimes I struggle to get sucked into her novels, but this one did not suffer from any early chapter plot malaise.
And�. I’m pretty sure JK Rowling lifted her Harry Potter franchise straight outta this book. Too many coincidences, I think she owes DWJ some royalties.
- neglected boy learns he has magic abilities, goes to a boarding school
- boring practical magic teacher
- an eccentric and secretive wizardy mentor
- splitting a person into several lives
- putting a life into an object to keep it safe
- a Minister and bureaucratic magic regulations
- lots of ordinary people banding together with simple spells to defend the Castle from powerful baddies
