Series: Tiffany Aching

New York Times Bestseller
* USA Today Bestseller
* Winner of the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy

Someone--or something--dark and deadly is stirring hate and fear, and the young witch Tiffany Aching must step up to save her land--and herself--in this spellbinding Discworld novel by fantasy master Sir Terry Pratchett.

""Sheer, even deep, magic."" --Parade

As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone is generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches, turning neighbors against neighbors. 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 Discworld novels can be read in any order, but I Shall Wear Midnight is the fourth 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 I Shall Wear Midnight

One of the most entertaining and literarily rich fantasies for young adults available. Funny, thought-provoking, and completely engaging from first to last. --Horn Book Magazine In terms of pure humor per square word, Pratchett may be the cheeriest writer around. --ALA Booklist Pratchett's skill as a storyteller soars. --Rocky Mountain News Glorious. --School Library Journal (starred review) Side-splittingly funny. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Enthralling and rewarding. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Tiffany is Hermione Granger, Gaiman's Coraline, and Pullman's Lyra Belacqua rolled into one. --Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review) At once touchingly poignant and uproariously hilarious, this novel is a splendid goodbye to a batch of characters who will be missed by readers who still must admit that, with this fourth volume, their stories have been well and thoroughly told. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
