This has to be the best work of Diana Wynne Jones. I've read four of her other books, but this one has to be my favorite. It has twisting plots and creative ideas and themes. Once you start reading it's hard to put the book down.

I picked up this book after seeing the movie, an anime directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and distributed by Disney (with american voice actors). The movie was good, but the book had a lot more depth (of course). I'm glad I saw the movie first, or else I would have been disappointed.
Yes, this is probably found in the "Children's Books" section, but there are quite a few confusing points and plot twists. Some of them you can see coming, but several of them you know there is a twist, but you don't expect the turn it takes.
A fun book, and pretty easy reading. If you are looking for a deep book, this is not the one. If you are looking for a book to share with your kids, this is a good choice. You'll both get something out of the book.

This is the story that inspired the Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli) film.
Magical characters: witches, wizards, talking fire demon, scarecrow, and an assortment of characters on an adventure will make you want to keep reading until the end.

"In the land of Ingary, such things as spells, invisible cloaks, and seven-league boots were everyday things."
But when Sophia and her sisters get into the mix, anything can and does happen. It's a wonderful fantasy and I couldn't put it down.

Howl's Moving Castle is a mix of magic and humor with a dash of action. It tells the story of Sophie Hatter, who is the eldest of three. This means she will be the first - and worst - to fail if she and her two sisters set out to seek their fortunes. When she displeases the Witch of the Waste and has a curse put on her, Sophie sets out to seek her fortune and meets many interesting characters; including The Wizard Howl - who is said to eat the hearts of young girls -, a fire demon, and an annoying scarecrow.
