Publisher Description

ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults * ALA Booklist Editors' Choice * ALA Notable Children's Book

“Pratchett’s unique blend of comedy and articulate insight is at its vibrant best. Full of rich humor, wisdom, and eventfulness.” —Horn Book (starred review)

By beloved and bestselling Terry Pratchett, this is the third in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.

When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. It will take all the young witch's skill and cunning, as well as help from the legendary Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible Wee Free Men, to survive until Spring.

Because if Tiffany doesn't make it to Spring, Spring won't come for anyone.

    " Another charming installment in Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching YA novels. Not quite as coherent as A Hat Full of Sky, but still utterly enjoyable, with more of Tiffany's education in witching and return supporting appearances from the Nac Mac Feegle, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg. "

    " Terry Pratchett is a genius, a crafter of stories, his writing is flawless, his humour will have you laughing wherever you are. Go on, read a tale of Discworld, you won't regret it. "

    " I'm in the minority of finding the Tiffany Aching books really hard work and really slow going. It took me 3 days to read 50 pages, and then I finished it on the last day because of a 5 hour train journey with no room to knit, crochet or watch a DVD on the journey. Nevertheless it's still a great book, and now I only have 3 Discworld books to go until I'm finished! :C "

    " There weren't as many passages that made me laugh out loud in this book as some of the others, but still good for a laugh. You have to read the Tiffany books in order though, otherwise you'll never get what is going on. "

    " This continues to be a very fun series. Entertaining to listen to in the car - the accent of the Feagles (sp?) is so good, that I would recommend listening to it. Kid friendly also. "

    " These Tiffany Aching books just keep getting better and better. I loved Miss Treason and her Boffo, and Annagramma. And omg Horace! Horace was the best! And I'm liking Roland, too. (And of course Tiffany and Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, as well.) "

    " Obviously read these in the wrong order, but it doesn't matter. I think it is James McKee who doesn't like the Discworld series - I always knew he was too weird. It is fun, and even funny at times, and does exactly what it says on the tin! "
