Description:

Howl's Moving Castle meets Neil Gaiman in this middle grade fantasy, set in a world as mesmerizing as it is menacing, following children on a quest to save their father who get embroiled in the sinister agendas of rival sorcerers.

The city, ruled by five powerful female sorcerers, at first dazzles the siblings. But beneath Halfway's glittery surface...
