Critics Review
Thought-provoking as well as fun, this is Pratchett at his most philosophical, with characters and situations sprung from ideas and games with language. And it celebrates the joy of the moment.
Thought-provoking as well as fun, this is Pratchett at his most philosophical, with characters and situations sprung from ideas and games with language. And it celebrates the joy of the moment. * The Times *
Nation has profound, subtle and original things to say about the interplay between tradition and knowledge, faith and questioning…It’s funny, exciting, lighthearted and, like all the best comedy, very serious.
* Guardian *Terry Pratchett is an indisputable one-off…Nothing he writes is ever predictable - except that it will always be gloriously readable.
* Independent *Pratchett’s immensely entertaining new young adult novel, manages to be both thought-provoking and sweet… It’s a wonderful story, by turns harrowing and triumphant. * New York Times *About The Author
