A magical chemistry set unites the five children in a newly-blended family, and, eventually, helps three of them learn to respect and trust their new father, who is big and loud enough to be an ogre. |
As usual, Diana Wynne Jones successfully combines magical and mundane realities in highly creative and unpredictable ways.
