Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) is the acclaimed creator of the globally revered Discworld series. In all, he authored more than fifty bestselling books, which have sold more than one hundred 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 by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
""Delves into weighty issues but keeps its sense of dark humor."" -- USA Today ""Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent."" -- Kirkus Reviews (starred Review) ""Pratchett rethinks a classic story and comes up with a winner. A not-to-be-missed delight."" -- School Library Journal (starred review) ""Manages to be hilarious, moving, scary, impishly vulgar and wickedly wise, sometimes all at once."" -- Locus Magazine ""Pratchett's absorbing, suspenseful adventure is deepened by a willingness to tackle the questions of existence."" -- Horn Book Magazine ""Pure, unadulterated fun. The action is fast paced, the dialogue witty, unforgettable."" -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) ""For this outrageously cheeky tale, Pratchett pairs a dynamite plot with memorable characters."" -- Publishers Weekly ""This is his first Discworld novel aimed specifically at YA readers, and it should win him new fans."" -- KLIATT ""Pratchett leaves none of his wit behind in this exploration of Discworld for younger readers."" -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (recommended) ""Clearly destined for great things...deeply pleasurable and a wonderful and entertaining read."" -- The Bookseller (Great Britain) ""An astonishing novel. Were Terry Pratchett not demonstratively a master craftsman already, The Amazing Maurice might be considered his masterpiece."" -- Neil Gaiman
