Charmed Life', the first book in the Chrestomanci series, won the 1977 Guardian Award for Children's Books. Using her own cleverness—with a lot of help from a talking cat—she decides to show the witch who's boss. So geht es ausschließlich darum, wie Aya in ihrem neuen Zuhause zurechtkommt und sich den Respekt von Bella Yaga und dem Mandrakus verschafft.

So far I can only really find Ghibli people talking about it and they are very mixed on the visuals and don't mention the story much. Foremost amongst the latter are The Tough Guide To Fantasyland, and its fictional companion-pieces Dark Lord of Derkholm (1998) and Year of the Griffin (2000), which provide a merciless (though not unaffectionate) critique of formulaic sword-and-sorcery epics.
