YA
Pratchett's unique blend of comedy and articulate insight is at its vibrant best in this new novel about Tiffany Aching. Tiffany, having thoughtlessly (and disastrously) joined the annual ritual dance that ushers in winter and sends summer underground, has altered the seasons in a way only she can fix. Wintersmith is as full of rich humor, wisdom, and eventfulness as its outstanding predecessors.
