I know many people by now (I sincerely hope many) have seen the beautiful movie Howl's Moving Castle.
but how many of you knew it was a book written right here in America? I guess a few of you may shout WHAT?!
I read this book sometime before I even heard of the film and was excited to see it. While it differs in many ways from the original story it was just so much fun to see.
Now then as for the books it was also part of a series.
If you have seen this movie you NEED to get this book! Get on on kindle if you must (many have switched over to the kindle I have both) or get the paperback. You will not regret it but I must press remember it is NOT like the film.
No matter what if you are a fantasy lover this is the book to grab and grab now. Its full of fun and humor and is just pure delightful.
Some more fun books are these here
Flunked now this is a pretty funny book. I was skeptical I am a bit picky when it comes to books. Who is not picky about books? No one.
Flunked is by the famous authoress of the award winning series Secrets of My Hollywood Life.
Called "Charming Fairy Tale Fun" by Sarah Mlynowski who wrote the Whatever After series.
Its a slightly twisted fairytale about a sassy girl named Gilly (not wicked by any means) who steals to keep her family afloat. until she's caught that is and sent to a reform school. Who runs this school you ask? None other then the most famous all of a stepmothers of course! The teachers? Other villains. Yep all the big baddest of the bad. The Evil Queen, The Big Bad Wolf....yeah not a good day for her.
Your kids will love reading about Gilly's adventure with her new friends from school.
Then we have Fairy Godmothers Inc
Kate is having problems and she's an experienced godmother! She's supposed to help Rellie (Cinderella) who doesn't want any dress, the younger brother of the prince is after Kate instead of Rellie, oh what is a fairy godmother to do?!
This is a funny and quite charming retelling of the cinderella story and is bound to make you laugh.
Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story
For this godmother things went horribly horribly WRONG. Lil is a quiet girl who shelves books in a tiny bookstore in Manhattan. What's so special about her...she is or WAS a fairy godmother. Not only a fairy godmother she was THE Fairy Godmother. The Fairy responsible for Cinderella's Happily Ever After. Or she was supposed to be. Instead she fell in love with the prince her self and trotted off to the ball in Cindy's place getting herself banished. Now she has a chance at redemption to find a soul mate for a vintage loving girl who seems to have a penchant for finding love in all the wrong places. (pardon the pun)
grab this to find out what happens to Lil and see if she manages to get herself redeemed and to go home.
My Fairly Dangerous Godmother. why add this book? It is hilariously funny that is why!
Janette Rallison has witty take on this fairy godmother. What does the star of our story get? A cellphone carrying high heeled fairy godmother in training. who seems to have a problem with messing up wishes. She sends her charge on a trip to the well known tale The Little Mermaid and even on to be a sister in the tale of the The Twelve dancing Princesses. How does a girl fix wishes that are permanent?! with the help of a quest and a handsome thief of course.
This story is so full of charm and wit you may find yourself laughing absurdly. (do not read on public transportation unless you can ignore starring bystanders)
Publishers Weekly has called Rallison’s fairy tale retellings "Hilarious."
Praise for My Fair Godmother: "With comical chaos erupting
