DESCRIPTION:
Panos Dionysopoulos said A masterpiece. An absolutely beautiful book. It actually brought me to tears on three separate occasions (I will admit to being a bit of a sap)I have been reading Terry Pratchett's books for 16 years since I first discovered 'Sourcery' in my high school library and then went back and caught up with the others and I truly believe this is his best. At least, it resonated the most with me.Considering at the point he wrote it his Alzheimer's had reached the point where he could no longer type but needs to dictate his words, this is . Way Outback said Satisfying Ending to a Sterny-Good Tale. Tiffany Aching is a delightful, complex character coming of age in an unusual world. Through her adventures I have learned Applied Headology, Human Relations skills for the Strong Woman, and Listening. As with all of Sir Terry's Discworld tales, the story within the story nurtures the reader's heart as well as the imagination. High recommendations for readers middle school and older. This book is the last of a series, can be read out of sequence but would make for a richer appreciation of the tale to start at WEE . T.

From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up–This is the final adventure of the young witch, Tiffany Aching, and her obnoxious, fawning, and yet lovable small blue companions, the Nac Mac Feegles. Known as “The Hag O'the Hills,” she spends her time tending to the messy, menial, everyday things that no one else will take care of, such as fixing bones or easing the pain of a dying man. But as she tries to serve the people of the Chalk hills, she senses a growing distrust of her, and a loss of respect for witches in general. Fans of the author's “Discworld” (HarperCollins) books will enjoy the connections with the larger series, particularly the inclusion of Granny Weatherwax. . Pratchett combines gut-busting humor and amusing footnotes with a genuine poignancy as Tiffany tries to decide what her future should be. The Cunning Man is in need of
