Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur Someone at Stallery Mansion is changing the world. At first, only small details, but the changes get bigger and bigger. It's up to Conrad, a twelve-year-old with terrible karma who's just joined the mansion's staff, to find out who is behind it. But he's not the only one snooping around. His fellow servant-in-training, Christopher Chant, is charming, confident, and from another world, with a mission of his own -- rescuing his friend, lost in an alternate Stallery Mansion. Can they save the day before Conrad's awful fate catches up with them? Revue de presse “A wild romp with a fast-paced and satisfying conclusion.” -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Magic, mystery and snortingly funny slapstick.” -- Publishers Weekly “Hilariously droll and totally heartfelt at the same time. Witty, satisfying, a must for all Jones fans.” -- School Library Journal Biographie de l'auteur In a career spanning four decades, award-winning author Diana Wynne Jones (1934‒2011) wrote more than forty books of fantasy for young readers. Characterized by magic, multiple universes, witches and wizards—and a charismatic nine-lived enchanter—her books are filled with unlimited imagination, dazzling plots, and an effervescent sense of humor that earned her legendary status in the world of fantasy.
