Though ostensibly a child's book will be enjoyed by any fan of Pratchett's as it is written with his trade mark humour.

It's the kind of book adults will enjoy and be delighted for their children to read.

If you are only going to buy one book., this is the one to get!

A sharply humorous sequel to The Wee Free Men

This gravitas, together with the crackling energy of his ideas and style and his delicious subversion of traditional fairytales, makes A hat Full of Sky a perfect read.

The story comes with all of Pratchett's unique comic inimitability and moves with page-turning insistence to its surprising, satisfying conclusion.

The message throughout is one of self-empowerment and self improvement and it is testimony to Pratchett's writing skill that this message never feels tacked on or cloying. [This book] will be relished by children as well as adults.

Mentioned in Christmas Round Up: Humorous and eloquent, Pratchett again manages to create a book that both children and adults love.

The dialogue is brilliant and the bizarre characters are unforgettable.

(Discworld Novel 32)

A real witch never casually steps out of her body, leaving it empty. Eleven-year-old Tiffany does. And there's something just waiting for a handy body to take over. Something ancient and horrible, which can't die . . . 
 
Wise, witty and wonderful, A Hat Full of Sky is Terry Pratchett's second novel about Tiffany and the Wee Free Men - the rowdiest, toughest, smelliest bunch of fairies ever. They'll fight anything. And even they might not be enough to save Tiffany . . .
