Diana Wynne Jones is a genius. I adore all her books. The Chrestomanci series and Howl's Moving Castle being among my favorites. Her way of writing fantasy books is unique and her characters are memorable.
I picked up this book at the library the other day and enjoyed the quick read; it's just over 100 pages. It has some great illustrations by Paul O. Zelinksky, who is a talented children's book illustrator.
Earwig is an orphan and content with being at the orphanage until some interesting people come to adopt her. She finds herself in a magical household and with the help of Thomas the cat, decides to take control of the situation and become in charge.
Recommend: yes
Children's fiction, witches, magic, orphans, cats
