A sinister monster stalks Tiffany Aching as the young witch pursues her training, helped by master witch Granny Weatherwax and the miniature rascals, the Wee Free Men, in this insightful and hilarious Discworld novel by bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.

"A masterpiece of comic fantasy." --The Times (London)

Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. She expects spells and magic--not chores and ill-tempered nanny goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this.

What Tiffany doesn't know is that an insidious, disembodied creature is pursuing her. This time, neither Mistress Weatherwax (the greatest witch in the world) nor the fierce, six-inch-high Wee Free Men can protect her. In the end, it will take all of Tiffany's inner strength to save herself . . . if it can be done at all.

"A Hat Full of Sky continues Terry Pratchett's brilliant look into the world of a young witch." --Fantasy Book Review
