Diana Wynne Jones…

Book Jacket for: Howl's moving castle [videorecording]
Diana Wynne Jones is an author of books aimed at the middle age child (4th grade through early high school).  She has always been one of my favorites.  I re-read her books even now as an adult and enjoy them just as much as I did when I first read them.  Her books are a nice mixture of whimsy, magic, and ordinary life.  If you saw that animated Miyazaki movie Howl’s Moving Castle a few years ago then you know Jones, the movie was based on her book.

Pick up some Jones titles for the children in your life & treat yourself by reading them too.
