Reviews for Charmed Life
A magical story about childhood
This is the story of Christopher Chant, a boy who stays with his parents in Edwardian England. He is an ordinary boy with an extraordinary talent; magic. Christopher has dreams in which he walks between worlds, sometimes different and sometimes the same as his own world. When his Uncle Ralph discovers this talent, he recognizes Christopher's dreams as his ability to perform magic and is determined to use Christopher's talent. What begins as experiments turns out to be an adventure of a lifetime or of several lifetimes, as Christopher is capable of. Here the boy learns as much about himself as about his family. The author portrays the characters with great depth, displaying easily their charms as well as their flaws. The book deals with childhood, growing up and the difficult decisions one has to make - all with the backdrop of immense and powerful magic. This is the first of a series of books on Christopher and his ability to do magic. The story is gripping, fast moving and never boring. An amazing read! by Nadia Hussain
