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

" Fun, entertaining, with occasional insights. "
— Ljonz, 2/20/2014 -
" Crivens! I do enjoy Tiffany Aching and the Wee Free Men a lot! "
— Amy, 2/18/2014 -
" This is the best of the Wee Free Men books. And the most adult of them. "
— Donna, 1/30/2014 -
" I am fairly sure this is to be the last of the Tiffany Aching adventures, but all in all it is a good send off, and entirely worth staying up late and blowing off homework to finish. "
— Varina, 1/21/2014 -
" third in the series "
— Martha, 1/19/2014 -
" Not as good as other Discword. "
— Leon, 1/19/2014 -
" Another incredible Pratchett novel. "
— Marnie, 1/19/2014 -
" I love the Tiffany Aching books and this one didn't disappoint, other than the knowledge that it is the last one of this little Discworld YA mini-series. "
— Em, 1/16/2014 -
" Enjoyable. A Terry Pratchett book in every sense. If you like the Discworld novels, you'll like this one. "
— Inge, 12/28/2013 -
" You just can't go wrong with a Terry Pratchett book. "
— Sabrina, 12/19/2013 -
" I would have rated I Shall Wear Midnight four stars if I could have listened to it. I loved the reader on the early Tiffany Aching books and missed his NacMacFeegal voice. "
— Wendy, 10/29/2013 -
" Wonderful ending to the Tiffany Aching series. Terry will be sorely missed when he is no longer able to write. And even more when he passes on. "
— Stacia, 10/25/2013 -
" I think the Tiffany Aching books are the pinnacle of Discworld and I also think that Terry Pratchett has just gone on getting better and better over the last few years. This one, like the others before it, is basically perfect. No, seriously, it's perfect. "
— Felicity, 10/22/2013 -
" I loved the little witch in this wonderful crazy world created by Mr Pratchet. She is usually the youngest as well as the smartest person there. I want to read more about her and her friends and challenges "
— Victoria, 9/16/2013 -
" I liked it, but I was disappointed, the book is not bad, but I think the other books from this book series are sooo awesome and..... I don't like this book that much.... Sorry "
— Mila, 8/14/2013 -
" 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! "
— Kim, 6/24/2013 -
" 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. "
— Caroline, 3/2/2013 -
" 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. "
— Leslie, 10/31/2012 -
" 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. "
— Suzie, 10/19/2012 -
" Crivens! The best one yet in the Tiffany Aching series. "
— StormyTuesday, 9/3/2012 -
" Another wonderful Tiffany Aching volume. "
— Mgmaudlin, 6/11/2012 -
" I love Terry Pratchett. Especially his books about witches. This one was awesome! "
— Js3698, 10/9/2011 -
" I think if this book doesn't bring a lump to your throat (after a slow start, I will admit), you may possibly not have a soul. "
— Sanya, 9/18/2011 -
" Not as good as other Discword. "
— Leon, 5/19/2011 -
" What a nice surprise to find book 4! It had been a while since I read the first three so I promptly went back after I gobbled up this one! My favorite nugget? "Coming back to where you started is not the same as never having left." "
— Abby, 5/13/2011 -
" I bow down before Terry Pratchett. He is a god. "
— Elsa, 5/8/2011 -
" I enjoyed it - yes I am super erudite. "
— Teddy, 5/5/2011 -
" I love the Tiffany Aching series, they are so much fun. "
— Pam, 5/5/2011 -
" Tiffany Aching is maturing nicely and has more adventures with the wonderful Feegles and the other colourful characters of Discworld. "
— Becky, 4/28/2011 -
" It was simply perfect. I loved it, what a great read this was. "
— Karlyl, 4/28/2011 -
" The fourth Tiffany Aching adventure is a crossover hit. Possibly the best of the series (in the running with The Wee Free Men), it feels more Discworld than young adult. Many of the favorite Discworld characters even turn up. "
— Julie, 4/27/2011 -
" I want to re-read all the other Tiffany Aching books now. "
— Tgg, 4/25/2011
