Conrad’s Fate (The Chrestomanci Series, Book 6) Jones, Diana Wynne

**Conrad's Fate** throws you into Diana Wynne Jones's wonderfully chaotic Chrestomanci universe, where magic runs wild and nothing's quite what it seems. Poor Conrad's been told he's got terrible karma and must work as a servant in posh Stallery mansion to avoid an awful fate. But between the bizarre parallel worlds, shape-shifting creatures, and his fellow servant Christopher (yes, *that* Christopher from earlier books), Conrad discovers his "destiny" might be complete rubbish.

This brilliant fantasy adventure tackles themes of class, destiny, and finding your own path when everyone else has plans for you. Perfect for teens and adults who love smart, subversive fantasy that doesn't talk down to readers. Jones was a master of turning fairy tale logic inside-out, creating stories that are both hilarious and genuinely moving.
