- Fantasy and adventure await in this book based on the winner of the 2002 Academy Award¬ for Best Animated Feature! Winner of the 2002 Academy Award for Best Animated feature, Spirited Away tells the story of 10-year-old Chihiro, a girl in the midst of a move to the suburbs who wanders into a strange town and finds a world of spirits ruled over by the mysterious Yubaba. Haku takes Sen to visit her parents, who have turned into pigs. Sen promises to rescue them and get them all out of this strange world one day. Back at work, Sen is forced to do the grossest jobs, like cleaning out the giant tub. And then the dreaded Stink God pays a visit to the bathhouse, and Sen is sent to serve his odorous presence! Through pluck and determination, though, Sen makes it through, and finds a valuable prize in the process. Meanwhile, the masked man, the mysterious No-Face monster is lurking about. Who is he...and what does he want?
