Über diesen Titel

A chaotically magical sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle.

‘One of the greatest ever writers for children’ – Garth Nix

‘A true original’ – Katherine Rundell

‘She is the best writer of magical fantasy for children’ Evening Standard

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?

Very adorable and funny story with a perfect ending of Howl’s and Sophie’s, but also lots of other lovely characters’ journeys. Besides that, I really love how Kristin Atherton does Twinkle.

Indeed magical.

I liked the first two books, but this is a quite boring story, that leads nowhere most of the time, with multiple storylines getting startet, then not moving forward at all only to finally get to a bunch of unrelated, anticlimactic resolves in the end. The writing is also quite exhausting, being very, very discriptive and going into minor unimportant detail over already useless plot points way too often. Maybe I expected too much, since it was propably just meant for children, but as opposed to the other books, I really had a hard time getting through this one.

Meh story and writing
