Howl's Moving Castle Book 1

This is a great little book to help remember a wonderful film. I find these books helpful in the classroom to practice reading and enjoy the combination of film and books. The book is really absorbing. You'll be surprised how absorbing it can be. Be prepared to have volume 2 at your disposal so you don't have to wait.
