Tiffany Aching comes from a long line of Achings, most notably Granny Aching, a woman of few words but a great deal of quiet power. When the Fairy Queen's world of dreams starts to encroach on the peasants of the Chalk, Tiffany is all that stands in her way. Tiffany's only weapons are Granny's old...
“You could say this advice is priceless,” she said, “Are you listening?”“Yes,” said Tiffany.“Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...”“Yes?”“...and believe in your dreams...”“Yes?”“...and follow your star...” Miss Tick went on.“Yes?”“...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working ha...
The Wee Free Men was really enjoyable...at first. It was funny the whole way through. However, sense did not follow such a path. It made sense until about 23 of the way through. Then it dissolved into incomprehensible confusion. For me, leastways. It jumped around and was very confusing. And what ha...
What a fun read. I tried to read The Color of Magic before but I couldn't get into it. I've heard that you can jump into a lot of the different storylines in the Discworld series so that's what I did here. It's a rare book where the dialogue is completely silly but the plot is not.

This book is a nice, self-contained story about a young girl, Tiffany Aching, who lives out in the countryside in Pratchett's fantasy world, the Discworld....
I plan to use this book in the future as a strategic "weapon" for introducing my (future, hypothetical) daughter to the world of Terry Pratchett's imagination. Yes, I see it as a 'gateway drug' to addiction to Sir Terry's writing. And that's the addiction I'm happy to perpetuate.After all, this book...
This was my first Terry Pratchett book. If you a looking for a way into his Discworld series (which is, at last count, 1 million books long), you could do worse. It's a totally separate story arc. It's the first of a shorter sub-series, giving you someplace to go if you like it. It's YA, so it goes ...
