Description
Tiffany Aching has finally got her wish.
She is a witch (and a respected one, at that). Overworked and underpaid, that's for certain, but a witch nonetheless.
Help is at hand though. In the form of young Geoffrey and his goat. Geoffrey wants to be a witch too, and thinks he can save the world by building sheds. Well, everyone has to start somewhere.
But as new friends are made, and old ones return, enemies are stirring. With her beloved chalk in jeopardy, Tiffany will face the toughest challenge of her life.
There will be a reckoning . . .
'Brilliant . . . This is a book worth reading twice in quick succession'
Daily Mail
The fifth and final book in the Tiffany Aching series - five Discworld novels by master-storyteller Terry Pratchett.
About the Author
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
