Deep Secret

Deep Secret - Diana Wynne Jones I love everything I read by this woman, and this book was no exception. Her characters are just so eminently likable, even when they're described as prats. This book also has one of my favorite and little-used premises, which is the notion of actual fantastical events happening to groups of fantasy enthusiasts (the bulk of the book takes place at an sf/f convention).
