Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett
When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to young witch Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. For ever. 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. THE THIRD BOOK IN THE TIFFANY ACHING SEQUENCEPratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix * The Sunday Times *
Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling. . If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book * In Dublin *
Exhuberant energy and humour * The Children's Bookseller *
Charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement * Books for Keeps *
Terry Pratchett (Author)
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
