SynopsisIn the land of Ingary, such things as spells, invisible cloaks, and seven-league boots were everyday things. The Witch of the Waste was another matter. After fifty years of quiet, it was rumored that the Witch was about to terrorize the country again. So when a moving black castle, blowing dark smoke from its four thin turrets, appeared on the horizon, everyone thought it was the Witch. The castle, however, belonged to Wizard Howl, who, it was said, liked to suck the souls of young girls. The Hatter sisters--Sophie, Lettie, and Martha--and all the other girls were warned not to venture into the streets alone. But that was only the beginning. In this giant jigsaw puzzle of a fantasy, people and things are never quite what they seem. Destinies are intertwined, identities exchanged, lovers confused. The Witch has placed a spell on Howl. Does the clue to breaking it lie in a famous poem? And what will happen to Sophie Hatter when she enters 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. In this giant jigsaw puzzle of a fantasy, people and things are never quite what they seem.

AMAZING BOOK!
I am almost finished reading this book. I saw the movie first and my sister said that the book was good. I bought it off ebay and there have been times I had a hard time putting it down during my breaks! Knowing how the movie ends makes it a little easier to put it down, but there is still so much more detail and more plot than what's portrayed in the movie! Truly an amazing read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

An excellent book
I bought this because I watched the movie made by Studio Ghibli. The original book differs from the movie of course, but both are incredible masterpieces. The story is creative, the characters perfectly charming, relatable, and hilarious. I've read it multiple times already and am reading it allowed to my brothers. It has quickly become one of our favorite books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
