YA
In this sequel to The Wee Free Men, Pratchett approaches an even more perfect union of domestic and epic fantasy; the humor races from cerebral to burlesque without dropping a stitch. Tiffany Aching's pursuit by a soul-stealing hiver requires all the boisterous force of the Nac Mac Feegle, as well as all the power of Granny Aching's sheep-dappled landscape to bring Tiffany back to herself.
