[DeepL Translation - needs review] During an exciting summer vacation, sixth grader Lina sets out on a journey alone. After passing through the forest in the misty valley, the mist clears to reveal a beautiful and somewhat eccentric town of red and cream-colored Western-style houses. Lina's interactions with the strange people she encounters who live on the crazy streets are freshly depicted in this film. This is an eternal masterpiece of fantasy that inspired "Spirited Away.

I think many of us read this because we heard that parts of it inspired “Spirited Away,” but really it’s only the broad concept of “little girl works in different parts of a magical place” that’s similar. It’s a completely different story.
IMO this book is less than ideal for intermediate language students because it’s written with few kanji and yet has some fairly advanced vocabulary. The particular thing that makes it tricky is that a lot of the atmosphere and characterization comes from
