When Sophie Hatter unwittingly attracts the attention of the Witch of the Waste, she finds herself transformed into an old woman. To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must infiltrate the ever-moving castle in the hills, handle the heartless Wizard Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there’s far more to the irresistibly charming Howl—and herself—than first meets the eye.
