Prior to this, I have never read anything by Terry Pratchett. I had wanted to for years, but kept putting it off on account of wanting to read them "in sequence." Perchance this book, and its sequel 'A Hat Full Of Sky' landed in my hands, and so I read them. Having done so, I can say that, as others...
My full review was posted at SFF Book Review.What a fun Discworld adventure. For all of those who have had enough of crazy Ankh-Morpork for a while and want to enjoy the country air, so to speak, Tiffany Aching's first adventure is just the thing.Living on the Chalk, herding sheep and making excelle...
This is another Discworld YA novel and it's fair to say I only read it because it was next on the list and I wanted to have read them all.

I am a bit hesitant about the four star rating since the first 100 pages seemed almost determined to thwart my interest. In the end, though, I want to grow up to be Tiffany Aching. Excuse me while I run out to buy Hat Full of Sky.
