Description
A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett is the second book in the Tiffany Aching series, set within the Discworld universe. Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship as a witch, expecting spells and magical adventures. Instead, she finds herself dealing with chores, an ill-tempered nanny goat and the less glamorous realities of learning witchcraft.
But something far more dangerous is following Tiffany. After she leaves her body empty while travelling outside it, an ancient, disembodied creature finds an opportunity to take control. Even the formidable witch Mistress Weatherwax and the fierce Wee Free Men cannot simply protect Tiffany from what is coming. To survive, Tiffany must confront the creature herself and discover the inner strength and qualities that truly make a witch.
With Pratchett’s characteristic humour, imagination and irreverence, A Hat Full of Sky combines fantasy, magic, adventure and coming-of-age themes in a story that continues Tiffany Aching’s journey through the Discworld.
