Howl's Moving Castle is a great book about Sophie, a girl born the eldest of three in Ingary, a land where this is considered unlucky. So when the Witch of the Waste puts a spell on her that makes her a old woman, she leaves her home and goes to work as a cleaning lady for the fearsome Wizard Howl. With identity swaps, a fire demon, lots of magic, and a turnip-headed scarecrow, this is a book you do not want to miss.
