"I love this series and am always trying to get people to check out Tiffany Aching’s little corner of Discworld." - Andrea C.

And so it turns out that, while the hedgehog can never be buggered, it can be baked. I am publicly breaking my vow to stop reading Discworld. Long live chalky witches! This volume seems to contain more wisdom of life than others, although…

I hope my daughters grow up to be like Tiffany Aching. I hope I never have to deal with Feegles in the the hoose. Excuse me, house.

First book in the Tiffany Aching series about a young girl who has the (very great) talent to become a witch. She meets the Nac Mac Feegle, who are a clan of fighting, trouble-making pictsies who value fighting over thinking. The message…

I don't usually re-read books (there are so many new books I want to read!). But this is one I've read 3 or 4 times. So good.

This was the first book I've read in the Discworld universe, and I am completely hooked. I love Pratchett's prose, his cleverness, and his penchant for writing fully realized women. Thoroughly delightful.

I want to read this book to my daughter once's she's old enough. Tiffany is the kind of hero we should all aspire to be.

Tiffany is a protagonist that is a joy to follow through the entire series and Pratchett imbues all of the characters with incredible warmth and life.

Hilarious quick read. If you are a student of Scottish history you will find the parallels in this story tickle your funny bone.

I've only ever read two other books by Terry Pratchett - Good Omens, which he cowrote with Neil Gaiman, and the first Discworld book, The Color of Magic. I really liked Omens, but at the time, I was all about Gaiman, so (because it was not…

What's not to love about 6-inch-high wee blue scotsmen in kilts running through the fields with live sheep on their backs, swilling whiskey left out in the barn for them like milk in a dish for cats. Crivens me wee laddies ach how I LOVE.…

Great book. Fun romp with a bunch of wee men who know how to have one hell of a time.

How can you not enjoy this book when you are dealing with the Nac Mac Feegles - the blue skinned, red haired, drinking, fighting and stealing 6-inch Scottish (scalawags the lot of them) Faeries that believe it's no good to lie unless…

I love this book! I think it might be better than Harry Potter, but I'm sure I'll find many who disagree. I own the larger copy with lots of pictures for my many re-reads and a paperback copy to loan out. I recently loaned it to a…

I wasn't expecting something so uniquely blended -- Celtic Myth, Monty Python and Fractured Fairy Tales in a smoothie of a read that is sweet and spicy at once, and tugs the heart strings more than once. A wonderful book.

Tiffany Aching is one of Terry Pratchett's greatest characters. Her books are my favourite of the discworld novels. I only wish they had been around when I was a kid!

When Tiffany's younger brother is kidnapped, she must journey through the dangerous dreamscape of Fairyland to rescue him, armed only with her wits, a bit of magic, a heavy frying pan, and a band of fiesty, blue, Scottish fairies with…

Another thoroughly enjoyable Terry Pratchett novel - this one introduces the "Wee Free Men" ("Pictsies") who provide a continual backdrop to all the books in Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series. Despite the title however, this book is more…

Terry Pratchett seemed to be going through a slump for a while, but he's definitely broken out of it with this book! It made me laugh, and made me think, and made me want to share it with friends. A great read if you like comic fantasy…

so funny! I really enjoyed this little story.

This is classified as a young adult novel, but I believe it would appeal to all ages, from around 8 on up through adult. No sooner does Tiffany Aching discover she's a witch than she must set out to rescue her little brother from an evil…
