Charmain finds quite a few surprises when she house-sits for her Great-Uncle William, but the biggest surprise of all is finding herself in the middle of a crucial hunt for a royal treasure . . . alongside none other than the great Wizard Howl himself. This is a deeply satisfying follow-up to the international bestseller Howl’s Moving Castle. Award-winning author Diana Wynne Jones’s most magnetic character became even more of a household name when Howl’s Moving Castle was made into an Oscar-nominated major motion picture directed by Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away).
