At nine, Tiffany Aching defeated the cruel Queen of Fairyland. At 11, she banished an ancient body-stealing evil. At 13, Tiffany faces a new challenge: a boy. And boys can be a bit of a problem when you're 13. But the Wintersmith isn't exactly a boy. He is winter itself.

witty & imaginative

Terry Pratchett's continuous play on words coupled with his startling imagination will keep you & the kids riveted & engaged.
I had to keep rewinding for the laughter!
Excellent non-religious moral lessons as well. Simply be honest, responsible, & care for one another.

Story
Armed only with a frying pan and her common sense, Tiffany Aching, a young witch-to-be, is all that stands between the monsters of Fairyland and the warm, green Chalk country that is her home. Forced into Fairyland to seek her kidnapped brother, Tiffany allies herself with the Chalk's local Nac Mac Feegle, aka the Wee Free Men, a clan of sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men who are as fierce as they are funny.

Simply an amazing story, from one of humanity's finest creators. A tale of basic human morality deeply mixed in rib-cracking humor, all set on a relatable - yet wonderously imaginative - stage.

I come back to this book about twice a year. For me, it has a uniquely calming effect on my nerves; helping me put this so-called life into a better - more attainable - perspective.
Thank you Mr. Botton
