"Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to seek her fate. But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that transforms her into an old lady. Her only chance at breaking it lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Howl's castle. To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must handle the heartless Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there's far more to Howl—and herself—than first meets the eye." --Goodreads blurb
This is another title that's been on my TBR for a long time and I wanted something cozy and fun, and this fit the bill perfectly! Wynne Jones is one of the most well-known fantasy writers whose career has spanned decades. Her writing style is to-the-point, but not in a stilted way. I felt like the story moved at a great pace, with fun characters. It certainly read as a story for a younger crowd, as it should. I will be continuing on with the series, and maybe finally watch the super popular movie based on this title.
