Publisher Description

The fourth in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.

As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone—or something—is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root. Aided by the tiny-but-tough Wee Free Men, Tiffany faces a dire challenge, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her. . . .

"Tiffany Aching comes of age, fights a big baddie with the "help" of her special friends, and falls in love. It's Terry Pratchett, so the story is funny and exciting and of course includes social commentary and satire. A solid addition to the Tiffany Aching series. "

— Suzanne (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Pratchett’s trademark wordplay and humor are much in evidence, but he’s also interested in weightier topics, including religious prejudice and the importance of living a balanced life. Tiffany Aching fans, who have been waiting for this novel since Wintersmith, should be ecstatic.”   

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “In terms of pure humor per square word, Pratchett may be the cheeriest writer around.” 

    — Booklist
  • “Longtime narrator Stephen Briggs provides enthusiastic ‘somewhere-in-the-British-Isles’ accents and voices for them all…Briggs narrates with the pride of a gushing uncle. Tiffany has matured into a fine young—ah, witch. As always, great fun.” 

    — AudioFile
  • “A passionately wise, spectacularly hilarious and surpassingly humane outing from a master.”  

    — Kirkus Reviews

    " Tiffany Aching is ready to be her own witch, the trouble is, there's an ancient evil who wants to stop her. It's the last book Pratchett has written in the series, but there's room for more. I'm hoping we might one day see Tiffany with her own apprentice! "

    " I normally love Pratchett but for some reason this one wasn't quite up to par, I think, maybe because it was laced with a tragedy that I couldn't quite brush off. It made the rest of the story more difficult to laugh with. "

    " Pratchett is always fun, however this let me down just a wee bit. By reiterating plot points over and over and over I found some of this very redundant but that also may be his writing this for younger readers. Still, Terry is like having to compare a good apple pie with a great apple pie. "

    " Last of the series. Really, really good. There were splatterings of rather adult humor in this one though, which disappointed me as it's a children's book and Pratchett doesn't need it to be funny. "
