That book also has a really out of place rape/sexual assault scene which sours the whole thing. But Jones is generally great and I loved "Witch Week" as a wee one.
I'm fairly sure the whole Fantasyland/Derkholm series is intended for older readers since it expects you know your way around fantasy clichés.
The Chrestomanci books are definitely aimed at a younger audience and Witch Week is indeed amazing (and I've only read that as an adult).
