Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones is about a teenage girl named Sophie, (maybe eighteen or nineteen years old) who works in her fathers hat shop. Her Father married another woman named Fanny who is her step mother and she has two younger sisters. Being the oldest of three she always though that she would be the most unlucky, working in the hat shop until she died, never getting married. But one day, the Wicked Witch of the Waste comes to the hat shop and isn't happy with what she finds. In return the witch turns her into an old woman! She sets of to find Howl, the evil wizard who eats girls hearts. When she finds him he doesn't turn out to be so mean. They have crazy adventures and battles with witches and all sorts of things.
I'd give this book a 10/10 because 1) I love fantasy 2) I love the movie and 3) it's funny. So if you like fantasy and humor this book is for you. I also recommend it to anyone who likes adventure stories.

it sounds like there are some things that are really like the wizard of oz... Is it kind of a take-off from that?
I saw the movie. Is the book anything like it? Is the book better than the movie? worse? It would be interesting to know.
plus it sounds like a book for me. Should i try it?
