Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones


Book Recommended by Rachel B.

Dacula Branch

Witches, wizards, and demons, oh my! When Sophie Hatter is transformed from a young girl to an old woman, the land of Ingary will never be the same! Sophie finds herself in an enchanted castle owned by the illusive wizard, Howl. Trying to find a way to return to her younger self, Sophie becomes Howl’s cleaning lady, but nothing is what it appears to be in a wizard’s house. When an evil witch’s curse on Howl catches up to him, Sophie has to learn to trust herself, and fast.

Howl’s Moving Castle is an inspiring book with love, humor, creativity, and magic. The author Diana Wynne Jones, has a writing style that fits the mood. How’s Moving Castle is simply one of Jones’s best books, and is my favorite. This book has been made into a movie by Hayao Miyazaki. Howl’s Moving Castle is a must-read for everyone.
