The third book in the Tiffany Aching series - five Discworld novels by master-storyteller Terry Pratchett.

Witches are odd.

That much is clear to Tiffany. But she likes them . . . in an odd sort of way. Just as she likes Roland . . . in a friend sort of way (which most certainly isn't odd).

But Tiffany hasn't really got time to think about Roland, because she has accidentally danced with Winter himself - the Wintersmith.

And now the Wintersmith has a bit of a crush on Tiffany.

According to her friend Daft Wullie, if Tiffany kisses the Wintersmith (an awful thought), her nose turns blue and fall off. According to the witches, if she doesn't shake off her admirer, there will never be another springtime . . .

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. www.terrypratchettbooks.com Laura Ellen Anderson (Illustrator) When she's not trying to take over the world or fighting sock-stealing monsters, Laura Ellen Anderson is a professional children's book author and illustrator who lives in north London.

Reviews for Wintersmith: A Tiffany Aching Novel

"“Oodles of dry wit, imagination and shrewdly observed characters.” –Independent on Sunday ""Pratchett'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."" --Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times ""Exuberant energy and humour."" --Children's Bookseller"
