This was my first Discworld novel, and I'm so glad I decided to get the hardback version. I will definitely be revisiting this book in the future, as well as reading more of the Discworld.

I already loved rats, but if I didn't this would have changed my mind. Especially Sardines.

A very very fun book! Knowing that this is a book for young adults honestly makes it better because Terry Pratchett very obviously has a respect for young readers and writes in a way where he is clearly not undermining them. I think this might be my favorite Discworld book so far!
