Sophie thinks of herself as plain and boring, especially compared to her
vivacious younger sister Lettie. Sophie expects to spend the rest of her
life quietly making hats in the back room of her family's shop, but as
her country prepares for war, she is forced to set out on an
extraordinary adventure!
With the Royal Sorcerer hot on their heels, Howl moves house, and Sophie
finds herself back where she started, in her family's hat shop. But she
isn't the same plain and timid Sophie--she's been cursed, chased, and
even fallen in love with an infamous wizard! Now her new strength will
be tested as the war breaks out in the skies above town and Howl's life
is threatened by mysterious magic!
