Not at all what I expected.

The illustrations are detailed in a most unusual way. The 'Good Sprog' images are wonderful. However the 'Bad Sprog' images did not overly impress me, to be honest.

Overall, I can easily see that many parents will love this book, as too will their children... however, this is not one I plan to add to my son's library. He wasn't to impressed, and neither was I.

Score: 9.3
Product reviews for listing 562: Discworld : Tiffany Aching 2 : A Hat Full of Sky - Written by Terry Pratchett

Eleven-year-old Tiffany Aching wants to be a real witch. But a real witch doesn't casually step 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 Tiffany's got to learn to be a real witch really quickly, with the help of arch-witch Mistress Weatherwax and the truly amazing Miss Level.

Oh, yes. And the Nac ... more...
