Castle in the Air

Description: A classic fantasy adventure, which was chosen as an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, and as a "Booklist" Editors' Choice, is newly repackaged.

Brief description:

In a career spanning four decades, award-winning author Diana Wynne Jones (1934-2011) wrote more than forty books of fantasy for young readers. Characterized by magic, multiple universes, witches, and wizards--and a charismatic nine-lived enchanter--her books are filled with unlimited imagination, dazzling plots, and an effervescent sense of humor that earned her legendary status in the world of fantasy. Her books, published to international acclaim, have earned a wide array of honors, including two Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honors and the British Fantasy Society's Karl Edward Wagner Award for having made a significant impact on fantasy. Acclaimed director and animator Hayao Miyazaki adapted Howl's Moving Castle into a major motion picture, which was nominated for an Academy Award.

Review Quotes: "This ebullient follow-up to HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE lives up to its predecessor's wacky humor and mysterious goings-on. Jones maintains both suspense and wit throughout, demonstrating once again that frequently nothing is what is seems to be. Readers of the first book will welcome the sequel with glee".
