This book was choosen by the Writing Contest winner Wednesday.

In which a witch bewitched the hatter's daughter--and then some...

Sophie lived in the town of Market Chipping, which was in Ingary, a land in which anything could happen, and often did--especially when the Witch of the Waste got her dander up. Which was often.

As her younger sisters set out to seek their fortunes Sophie stayed in her father's hat shop. Which proved most unadventurous, until the Witch of the Waste came in to buy a bonnet, but was not pleased. Which is why she turned Sophie into an old lady. Which was spiteful witchery.

Now Sophie must seek her own fortune. Which means striking a bargain with the lecherous Wizard Howl. Which means entering his ever-moving castle, taming a blue fire-demon, and meeting the Witch of the Waste head-on. Which was more than Sophie bargained for...



*The Discussion Leader for this book is Wednesday.*

Happy Reading

Inday (egregore) I havent read the book, but I got to watch the animated adaptation of this one. :)


Adriana I saw the movie and then read the book. The book was really good. Dina Wynne Jones is awesome. It was kind of weird reading it because the movie has to be faster paced and it was.

This will be my third time reading this book. I absolutely love it.


Adriana Sheesh girl! I've only read it once. It'll be nice to read it again and then watch the movie.

You just don't know how pitiful my library is..........


Adriana Well online library. Your county should have it...

You can see if your library can interlibrary loan things. Basically, they borrow books from other libraries.
