"Pratchett's unique blend of comedy and articulate insight is at its vibrant best. Full of rich humor, wisdom, and eventfulness." —Horn Book (starred review)
By the beloved and bestselling grandmaster of fantasy, Sir Terry Pratchett, this is the third in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.
When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. It will take all the young witch's skill and cunning, as well as help from the legendary Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible Wee Free Men, to survive until Spring.
Because if Tiffany doesn't make it to Spring, Spring won't come for anyone.
The five funny and fabulous Tiffany Aching adventures are:
- The Wee Free Men
- A Hat Full of Sky
- Wintersmith
- I Shall Wear Midnight
- The Shepherd's Crown
Tiffany's mentors, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, star in the novels
Equal Rites,
Wyrd Sisters,
Witches Abroad,
Lords and Ladies,
Maskerade, and
Carpe Jugulum.
And don't miss Terry Pratchett's hilarious and wise Discworld novel
The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents!

Now to find a good deal on the first 34 books.
Each sub series has a bit of a different feel to it (more absurdist, more grounded, more wizardry vs adventuring, more mystery, vs more drama, etc), so it's suggested that you start with one of the first books of a sub-series to see if you vibe with it before moving on in continuity, or trying another starter novel.
But this book isn't one of those starting points. It's Book #3 of a sub-series that is explicitly Young Adult.

I'd personally recommend the Colour of Magic if you want a more high fantasy thing (a jaded, opportunistic wizard takes a job as a local guide for a tourist, but ends up dealing with some apocalyptic magical forces). Mort if you want more of a supernatural thing (a young country boy in need of an apprenticeship ends up working for Death after a career fair). Or Guards! Guards! if you want more mystery thing (a couple of incompetent working class police officers get embroiled in a secret society's political conspiracy).
Only caveat I'll add is that I've started, but not finished, all three of those sub-series. So while the first books are great, I can't comment on whether you're setting yourself up for a good trilogy/quadrilogy or whatever. But again, these are comedy books, so no need to overthink it.
