Industry Reviews

Turn the strikingly colourful front covers of any of these three books and reveal amazing tales of magic, witches, warlocks and necromancers. Interspersed with Stevens's black and white illustrations, the text will keep you spellbound! In Howl's Moving Castle, Sophie Hatter discovers that it is most misfortunate to be the eldest of three sisters. Preparing herself and her sisters for their future happiness, Sophie invites the attentions of the Witch of the Waste and is consequently put under a curse! Undeterred, she travels to the moving castle that hovers over the Market Chipping hills to search out the antidote but the castle belongs to the terrifying Wizard Howl. People and animals acting together in the most surprising ways participate to assist Sophie from her plight. Perhaps a bargain with the demon might have to be struck after all? Wonderfully written and captivating from the start. You will definitely want to continue the experience by reading the sequel Castle in the Air. Abdullah is a humble carpet merchant, who lives in the land of Ingary. Follow Abdullah as he attempts to rescue pretty Flower-in-the-Night with just a bad tempered genie and unreliable flying carpet to help him, whilst also pursuing his dream - to be a prince! Mixed Magics reveals a world full of people making magic, from conjurors to Enchanters. Four, tantalizing tales, capture the mischief and frivolity that abounds and how the mysterious Chrestomanci keeps control, with friends old and new. (Kirkus UK)
