This book is much more juvenile-seeming that others in this series... in an alternate world, witchcraft is still a crime punished by burning, and when a student at a boarding school makes an anonymous accusation that "someone in the class is a witch" the consequences could be dire... finally, the mysterious enchanter known as Chrestomanci has to save the day in a dramatic deus-ex-machina...
Does a good job with making all of it's rather unappealing characters (the kids at the boarding school are a quite diverse bunch of brats, dorks, bullies and etc...) gradually appear deserving of understanding and sympathy... a bit of a heavy-handed message of tolerance...
