Book 6: A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett
Title: A Hat Full of Sky
Author: Terry Pratchett
Number of Pages: 350 pages
Book Number/Goal: 6/50 for 2011
My Rating: 5/5
Jacket Summary: A real witch can ride a broomstick, cast spells and make a proper shamble out of anything. Eleven-year-old Tiffany Aching can't. A real witch never casually steps out of her body, leaving it empty. Tiffany does. And there's something just waiting for a handy body to take over. Something ancient and horrible, which can't die. Now she's got to fight back and learn to be a real witch really quickly, with the help of arch-witch Mistress Weatherwax and the truly amazing Miss Level... 'Crivens! And us!' Oh, yes. And the Nac Mac Feegle - the rowdiest, toughest, smelliest bunch of fairies ever to be thrown out of Fairyland for being drunk at two in the afternoon. They'll fight anything. And even they might not be enough...
Review: I liked this a lot more than the first one. I hadn't been planning to read it all in one day, but I read the first hundred pages on the bus yesterday, then kept reading a chapter here and there when I got home, and finally just ignored everything else to finish it. :p I loved Miss Level, and of course Granny Weatherwax.
