A Hat Full of Sky

Discworld (for young readers) #3 / 6
by Terry Pratchett
A Hat Full of Sky (Discworld (for young readers) #3) by Terry Pratchett
  ★ 8.14 / 167

A real witch can ride a broomstick, cast spells and make a proper shamble out of nothing.

Eleven-year-old Tiffany Aching can't.

A real witch never casually steps out of her body, leaving it empty.

Tiffany does.

And there's something just waiting for a handy body to take over. Something ancient and horrible, which can't die.

Now she's got to fight back and learn to be a real witch really quickly, with the help of arch-witch Mistress Weatherwax and the truly amazing Miss Level...

– "Crivens! And us!"

Oh, yes. And the Nac Mac Feegle – the rowdiest, toughest, smelliest bunch of fairies ever to be thrown out of Fairyland for being drunk at two in the afternoon. They'll fight anything.

And even they might not be enough...
