Diana Wynne Jones is one of my favourite fantasy authors. Her books keep you laughing until the last page, and there's always a twist at the end. In this book, Caspar Johnny and Gwinny hate their ogre of a stepfather and his two sons with their whole hearts. Jack (the ogre) gives each set of kids their own chemistry set as a present, and some truly hilarious magic results as the kids find that their potions and concoctions have unexpected power! The kids discover they can fly, switch bodies, and even disappear! Now if only they could figure out how to undo all of this...Fiction
