A chaotically magical sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle.
Charmain Baker is in over her head. Looking after Great Uncle William's tiny cottage while he's ill should have been easy, but Great Uncle William is better known as the Royal Wizard Norland and his house bends space and time. Its single door leads to any number of places – the bedrooms, the kitchen, the caves under the mountains, the past, to name but a few.
By opening that door, Charmain is now also looking after an extremely magical stray dog, a muddled young apprentice wizard and a box of the king's most treasured documents, as well as irritating a clan of small blue creatures.
Caught up in an intense royal search, she encounters an intimidating sorceress named Sophie. And where Sophie is, can the Wizard Howl and fire demon Calcifer be far behind?

The worst in a fantastic series... And it is still pretty good, the others are just better. Somehow this also feel more like a children's book, than the two previous books which can be read by all ages... Maybe not toddlers as calcifer can be scary at times - he is a fire demon after all. This book feels like sci-fi but in a fantasy setting. I still think it is pretty good, just that the start is a bit slower in this book. But Diana Wynne Jones have become one of my favourite authors over this book series. Thank you ghibli for starting this
