Lent this book to a non Terry Prattchet Fan , (yes they are out there )and she went out and got the others in the child witch Tiffiny Aching series (another partial converrsion as she is a mature serious person ;) ) and prof that all ages enjoy well written childrens books even adults with no children !!! .

What can I say about the writing of Terry Pratchett? If you haven't already discovered his books, do yourself a favor, start now. They are a laugh-a-minute and you generally find you are laughing at yourself, your friends, the government and your stuffy ideas.
An excellent story, opening a whole new vista in your mind, suitable for readers 10 yrs to 100yrs; AND guaranteed to get you out of a bad mood.

The Tiffany Aching stories by Terry Pratchett are fabulous! They are humorous and the characters are rich and there is not a better storyteller than Pratchett.

There is little anyone can say in praise of Terry Pratchett that hasn't been said many times over. He is funny and deep at the same time. You can choose to find the random references to human society or you can just sit back and enjoy the story. Either way Pratchett won't dissapoint you. In this book we see Tiffany Aching begin to come into her own in the world of witches. She is no longer the girl that wished for magical powers in The Wee Free Men. Choice and consequences come together in a tale of fantastic proportions as Tiffany attracts the attention of the God of Winter, the Wintersmith.

Though considered to be one of Pratchett's adolescent books I have found that age is no barrier to enjoyment of this book.

Terry Pratchett is a comedic genius and this book is another fine example. It is a little bit dark for a "teen" book (I think they like it that way...witness the later Harry Potter books), but always ends well.
