This is a fantastic picture book telling the story of one of the most popular Ghibli movies worldwide, the Oscar and BAFTA award-winning Spirited Away. The book mixes picture-book-style storytelling and manga-style speech bubbles, all accompanied by gorgeous illustration stills from the movie.

The book is all in Japanese, but all kanji has furigana.

The family's car stops in front of a tunnel leading to what appears to be an abandoned amusement park which Chihiro's father insists on exploring, despite his daughter's protest. They find a seemingly empty restaurant still stocked with food, which Chihiro's parents immediately begin to eat. While exploring further, Chihiro reaches an enormous bathhouse and meets a boy named Haku, who warns her to return across the riverbed before sunset. However, Chihiro discovers too late that her parents have been transformed into pigs, and she is unable to cross the now-flooded river. Does Chihiro have to stay in this mysterious world forever? Will her parents remain as pigs for the rest of their lives? Find out in this book.
