cat

I loved it,it was amazing I liked cat and janit overall I loved this book

starts slow

Started slow but got better and had an exciting ending. It was frustrating the way the kids never trusted the adults.

Interested to see what happens next!!

I absolutely love the Howl's Moving Castle Trilogy so I decided to give this series a try. So far, I am absolutely loving it and can't wait to see what happens next!!

Truly a masterpiece

I always wonder why there's no adaptation of this great book. It's a shame not many in US are familiar with the wonderful world of chrestonanci.
But then it's a hidden treasure for those who find it.

Very fun

Such a lovely fun story! What a joy to read! I loved the whole thing.
