Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones


SYNOPSIS:  Sophie is turned into an old woman by a witch.  She takes on work for a wizard, and discovers that everything is not as it seems.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  I surprised myself by actually liking this book.  In fact, I liked it a lot.  It was a fun fairy tale, and I found myself rooting for the characters in it by the end.  I would recommend it for young adults and adults, simply because it might prove difficult for younger readers, and there are some fantasy elements that may be a little graphic for young readers.

RATING :  PG

AUDIENCE:  Teens, Young Adults, and Adults

STARS:  4

BOOKS LIKE THIS:  Goose Girl, The Sisters Grimm
