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. An alternative cover for this ISBN can be found here

    Man, I could really use a pair of those Seven Leaguer boots. I'd save so much on bus fare.

    Poor Calcifer. He needs a nap for sure after the scarecrow incident.

    Howl is SUCH a drama queen. It's hilarious, only because I don't have to personally deal with it. Also, I legitimately can't stop reading all of Calcifer's lines in Billy Crystal's voice, hehe. I know Book!Calcifer and Movie!Calcifer look strikingly different, but Billy Crystal did such a good job in the movie that his voice is eternally Calcifer's.
