Castle In The Air - Book Recommendation By Veronica

Castle In The Air - Diana Wynne Jones

This book is a young adult fantasy about Abdullah, a carpet merchant, who has dreams where he is a prince and falls in love with Flower-Of-The-Night, the beautiful daughter of the Sultan. One day, his dreams start to come true and he meets Flower-Of-The-Night in reality. However, a fearsome djinn carries her off into his castle in the air, and Abdullah has to rescue her. But first, he has to find her, avoid all the ferocious villains who, for some reason, are all after him, and stay alive. With the help of a bad-tempered genie, and a unreliable flying magic carpet, will he be able to rescue her?
This book is the sequel to 'Howl's Moving Castle' but can be read as a stand-alone. It is recommended to 8 years and up, but can be read and enjoyed by any age group.
