This book is really good and I wish I had read it when I was younger.
I loved Tiffany, and I loved the writing, especially her thoughts and perspectives. I love the way witches are portrayed in all of his books.
I liked the beginning a bit more than the time in fairyland - I sometimes got a little bored during those scenes. But I think I'm going to continue reading Tiffany's series, I want to know what she does next.

Nine year old Tiffany Aching wants to be a witch. Not that she's not satisfied with her life on the farm - she loves the sheep and she's become quite an expert at cheese making. But she knows that magic is out there and she wants to learn to use it - especially once she meets the Nac Mac Feegle. Those are the Wee Free Men of the title - short, blue, hard drinking Scottish...guys. Pixies, really. They come to her aid when her (rather sticky) younger brother is stolen by an evil witch and Tiffany knows that it is up to her to bring him back from whatever world he's been taken.
With her trusty frying pan, a lot of common sense and an even greater ability to listen to her second thoughts, Tiffany and the Nac Mac Feegle are in for the adventure of their lives.
Um, DELIGHTFUL. The Nac Mac Feegle are HILARIOUS. I listened to this one on cd, so just hearing their Scottish battle cries and insults was seriously laugh out loud funny. My 8 year old son and I were completely taken in by this twisting and turning story of a young girl on the verge of learning what she's capable of. I'll be honest, sometimes it did make my brain hurt a little bit, trying to understand exactly what was happening, what with all the dreams within a dream and this other world where the witch can twist reality and make you believe anything she imagines.
I'm glad I've tried out Prachett. Really, those Nac Mac Feegle alone are enough for you to just try it. Laughing out loud.

On one hand, I’m sad I don’t read this sooner. But on the other hand, I’m really glad I got a chance to read a new to me Discworld book one more time.

This book and this series is foundational to my understanding of ethics and education in the caring professions. That might seem weird for a young adult fantasy novel, unless you are a caring professional who has read the book. Must read for all 9-year-olds and up who want to be both practical and magical.
Such a delightful story, I loved this as a child and I think I love it even more now.
