Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett
Enter master story-teller Terry Pratchett’s incredible Discworld in this third book in the Tiffany Aching series . . . Tiffany Aching is starting to realize that some witches are a bit odd . . . When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to young witch Tiffany Aching, he decides he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. But forever is a long time, so right now Tiffany is just trying to make it through the Winter and hopefully find a way to escape. It will take all of Tiffany’s skill and cunning, as well as some help from the legendary Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible Wee Free Men – to survive until Spring. And survive she must, because according to the other witches, if Tiffany doesn't make it to Spring . . . Spring won't come at all.

"Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix."
--Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times
"Exuberant energy and humour."
--Children's Bookseller
