Description:

Charmain Baker would much rather have her nose in a book than do anything useful, so she is dismayed to be volunteered to house-sit for her great-uncle William, the Royal Wizard, while he is away being cured by the elves. His tiny cottage turns out to be anything but ordinary — a single door opens onto countless rooms, corridors, and even other worlds, all folded magically into one another. Soon Charmain is contending with a demanding magical dog, a hapless apprentice wizard, a kitchen that never runs out of dishes, and a dangerous creature called a lubbock. When she takes a job sorting the King's library, she finds herself drawn into a royal mystery. Set in the world of Howl's Moving Castle, this third companion tale brings beloved characters back in disguise, delivering humour, magic, and a thoroughly satisfying adventure.
