Publisher Description
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 . . .
THE FOURTH BOOK IN THE TIFFANY ACHING SEQUENCE
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The final adventure in Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series brings this subset of Discworld novels to a moving and highly satisfactory conclusion. Tiffany, now nearly 16 years old, is forced to do battle with the hate-filled ghost of a long dead witchfinder, the Cunning Man, who has become obsessed with the young witch and is gradually turning her own community against her. As ever, Tiffany is ably supported by her loyal, intensely fractious, and totally amoral companions, the Nac Mac Feegles, whose leader, Rob Anybody, believes, "After all, ye ken, what would be the point of lyin' when you had nae done anything wrong?" She must deal with the heavy workload of a professional witch (birthing babies, training apprentices, and the like), fight evil, and come to terms with her former boyfriend's impending marriage. 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 (2006), should be ecstatic. Ages 12 up.
Customer Reviews
A personal favourite
Sir Terry’s writings have been moving me over and over since I found The Discworld in the late 80’s. I read the whole series several times a year. Sometimes when the mood is right this one touches me deeply, the story telling, the settings and the characters remind of who we’ve lost and who we’ve found. I last met Sir Terry at a signing when Night Watch came out and I only spoke to him for a few moments, I wish I could’ve thanked him for all the feels his Discworld gave me
I shall were midnight
Love this book. I think Terry Pratchett grows from strength to strength writing these books for younger people. These stories just take you away, mesmerized. Dreams so real. So hopeful and strong no matter what happens. Also read 'Nation'!!!!
