Publishers Synopsis

In this beloved modern classic, young Sophie Hatter from the land of Ingary 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, Howls 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 Joness unique combination of magic, humour and imagination.

We Say

As a kid I struggled with my reading and writing but this book drew me in with its beautiful storytelling, depth and rich characters, whom I quickly fell in love with. It was one of the first books I read and I regularly recommend it for readers both young and old.
