      Anche quando scrive "per piccoli" (o giovani adulti) Pratchett mantiene il suo stile. Mi sono domandato se abbia provato a scrivere un libro "alla Harry Potter", dove fa crescere un personaggio (Tiffany Aching in questo caso) bambino in un modo che possa piacere agli adulti.
      Per ora le premesse sono buone, leggerò anche gli altri libri della serie.

      The Lancre Witches series gets renewed in this Young Adults' Discworld series... we leave the fair kingdom of Lancre to go on the Chalk where a new witch was born, and now that she's nine someone must break her the news!
      She has First Sight and Second (and Third) Thoughts, she's in a hurry because the Queen of Faeries stole her little, sticky, cry-baby brother... she'll need more help than a frying pan and a grim determination: hopefully there's a Nac Mac Feegle clan nearby!

    • A good parody of some other works.
    • A good read. The the bit on the other world made me a wee bit dizzy though.

    • Yes, you see this correctly, you're not doing a double take - this book is so cool, you'll want to own it in hardback AND paperback! Hardback for durability, paperback for portability...

      Yes, you see this correctly, you're not doing a double take - this book is so cool, you'll want to own it in hardback AND paperback! Hardback for durability, paperback for portability...

      To the story, then: Introduces Tiffany Aching, a pint-sized witch who must confront the queen of the Fae in order to rescue her brother, aided by those graceless charmers, the Nac Mac Feegle.

      Charming, intelligent, witty - this is more than just any children's story. It's a DISCWORLD children's story.

    • Funny, full of imagination, questioning about the conventional fairy-tales (sort of the movie Shrek), and lawyers, just that some parts are too complicated, made me had to re-read again and again, thus took me longer time to finish it.

    • Understanding the Feegle's accent was a challenge, but they are funny as hell.

Book Description

A wonderful new novel from the Carnegie Medal winner. A riotous, wise, and gripping junior Discworld novel.

Up on the chalk downs known as The Wold, witches are banned -- ever since the Baron’s son vanished in the woods. Anyway, as all witches know, chalk is no good for magic.

Nine-year-old Tiffany Aching thinks her Granny Aching -- a wise shepherd -- might have been a witch, but now Granny Aching is dead and it’s up to Tiffany to work it all out when strange things begin happening. There’s a fairy-tale monster in the stream, a headless horseman and, strangest of all, the tiny blue men in kilts, the Wee Free Men, who have come looking for the new “hag”. These are the Nac Mac Feegles, the pictsies, who like nothing better than thievin’, fightin’ and drinkin’. When Tiffany’s young brother goes missing, Tiffany and the Wee Free Men must join forces to save him from the Queen of the Fairies.
