Summary
‘One of the greatest ever writers for children’ – Garth Nix




‘A true original’ – Katherine Rundell




‘Truly magical … Guaranteed to leave you gasping’ The Bookseller




‘She is the best writer of magical fantasy for children’ Evening Standard



In the land of Ingary, where seven league boots and invisibility cloaks exist, young Sophie Hatter catches the unwelcome attention of the Witch of the Waste and is put under a spell . . .


Deciding she has nothing more to lose, Sophie makes her way to the moving castle that hovers on the hills above her town, Market Chipping. But the castle belongs to the dreaded Wizard Howl, whose appetite, they say, is satisfied only by the souls of young girls…


There Sophie meets Michael, Howl’s apprentice, and Calcifer the fire demon, with whom she agrees a pact. Her entanglements with Calcifer, Howl and Michael and her quest to break her curse come alive with Diana Wynne Jones’s unique combination of magic, humour and imagination.

This book was hilarious, I loved every bit of it. I'll admit I came here from the Ghibli film. Thankfully I was forwarned over the differences so they were fun rather than confusing, they added to the each other even. The quips and sarcasm between the characters was loads of fun. Sophie really is a true menace here. I enjoyed her and her sisters and even her mother. The travelling boots and the mysterious poem were my favourite bits. And the weed killer. And the cloak. And Sophie not being subtle in even the slightest way at all. The narrator made this whole experience even better. The way she voiced different characters was well done and honestly so nostalgic. I felt like a little kid being read to at bedtime and enjoyed every bit of it.

A brilliant and lovely book! The narrator is one of the best I’ve heard so far.
