In Cranbury-on-Sea Aunt Maria rules with a rod of sweetness far
tougher than iron and deadlier than poison. Strange and awful things
keep happening in Cranbury. Why are all the men apparently
gray-suited zombies? Why do all the children -- if you ever see them
-- behave like clones? And what has happened to Mig's brother, Chris?
Could gentle, civilized Aunt Maria, with her talk and daily tea
parties, possibly have anything to do with it?Diana Wynne Jones once
again has created a fantastic, magical world. Her brilliant
storytelling and wonderful sense of humor totally involve the reader
in the lives of a lovable young heroine and a villainess readers will
love to hate.
