jwells's review

adventurous emotional funny

Re-reading this classic. This time through, I'm going to finish the Tiffany Aching books.  I've been resisting reading the last Tiffany and the last adult Discworld book, since we lost Sir Terry.  Then it occurred to me that I could get hit by a bus and never get to read them. Carpe librum.

What a delight. I'm so glad I finally started the Tiffany Aching books. The chalk downs were a character in and of themselves. I loved Tiffany and Granny and the Wee Free Men. This book is a wonderful imagining of British folklore and fantasy.

A young girl weaponises her autism, her grief about her dead grandma, and a frying pan to steal her annoying little brother back from fairies. 
I'm not the target audience, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
