Ruchomy zamek Hauru

Young-adult fiction by Diana Wynne Jones

Blurb

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.

Ms. Jone's subtle humor makes this book incredible. 9.5!

This is one of my very favorite stories. It's a book I've re-read numerous times. I love the character growth that takes place, how it starts out feeling like a very trite simple story and builds until you feel like you've known these characters your entire life.
