Riassunto

The fourth in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.

As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone—or something—is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root. Aided by the tiny-but-tough Wee Free Men, Tiffany faces a dire challenge, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her. . . .

Recensione:

“At once touchingly poignant and uproariously hilarious, this novel is a splendid goodbye to a batch of characters who will be missed by readers who still must admit that, with this fourth volume, their stories have been well and thoroughly told.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review))

“Tiffany is Hermione Granger, Gaiman’s Coraline, and Pullman’s Lyra Belacqua rolled into one.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review))

“Enthralling and rewarding.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Side-splittingly funny.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))

“One of the most entertaining and literarily rich fantasies for young adults available. Funny, thought-provoking, and completely engaging from first to last.” (Horn Book Magazine)

“In terms of pure humor per square word, Pratchett may be the cheeriest writer around.” (ALA Booklist)

“Glorious.” (School Library Journal (starred review))

“Pratchett’s skill as a storyteller soars.” (Rocky Mountain News)
