A sinister monster stalks Tiffany Aching as the young witch pursues her training, helped by master witch Granny Weatherwax and the miniature rascals, the Wee Free Men, in this insightful and hilarious Discworld novel by bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.

""A masterpiece of comic fantasy."" --The Times (London)

Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. She expects spells and magic--not chores and ill-tempered nanny goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this.

What Tiffany doesn't know is that an insidious, disembodied creature is pursuing her. This time, neither Mistress Weatherwax (the greatest witch in the world) nor the fierce, six-inch-high Wee Free Men can protect her. In the end, it will take all of Tiffany's inner strength to save herself . . . if it can be done at all.

""A Hat Full of Sky continues Terry Pratchett's brilliant look into the world of a young witch."" --Fantasy Book Review

The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but A Hat Full of Sky is the second book in the fabulous and funny Tiffany Aching series, which is comprised of:

The Wee Free Men A Hat Full of Sky

Wintersmith I Shall Wear Midnight The Shepherd's Crown

Tiffany's mentors, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, star in the novels Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, Maskerade, and Carpe Jugulum.

And don't miss Terry Pratchett's hilarious and wise Discworld novel The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents!

Reviews for A Hat Full of Sky

A masterpiece of comic fantasy. [Pratchett's] deep feeling for landscape, animals, kindness, and courage make his adventures deeply satisfying as well as clever. --London Times Full of irreverent humor, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and many memorable characters. Fans of the previous book are in for another treat. --School Library Journal Readers will curl up to read with a sigh of contentment. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Tiffany is Hermione Granger, Gaiman's Coraline, and Pullman's Lyra Belacqua rolled into one. A great adventure with plenty of magic and laughs. --Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review) The humor races from cerebral to burlesque without dropping a stitch. Astonishing. --Horn Book (starred review) Wonderful language, genuinely scary explorations and a young girl whose growing up is believable and exciting. --Chicago Tribune By turns hilarious and achingly beautiful, this be just right. --Kirkus Reviews
