Fiction
When summer rolls around, it’s always good to remember our favorites – those perennial stories we keep coming back to year after year. Howl’s Moving Castle is one such story. Written by the masterful and prolific Diana Wynne Jones, this book is the kind you just don’t want to put down, no matter your age. Following the exploits of young Sophie Hatter and her bizarre curse, we’re pulled along with her into the mad world of the flighty wizard Howl and his miraculous castle. With them, we face strange magic, dangerous witches, missing royalty, fire demons, and much more.
