Product Description:
At 9, Tiffany Aching defeated the cruel Queen of Fairyland.
At 11, she battled an ancient body-stealing evil.
At 13, Tiffany faces a new challenge: a boy. And boys can be a bit of a problem when you’re thirteen. . . .
But the Wintersmith isn’t exactly a boy. He is Winter itself—snow, gales, icicles—all of it. When he has a crush on Tiffany, he may make her roses out of ice, but his nature is blizzards and avalanches. And he wants Tiffany to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever.
Tiffany will need all her cunning to make it to Spring. She’ll also need her friends, from junior witches to the legendary Granny Weatherwax. They—
Crivens! Tiffany will need the Wee Free Men too! She’ll have the help of the bravest, toughest, smelliest pictsies ever to be banished from Fairyland—whether she wants it or not.
It’s going to be a cold, cold season, because if Tiffany doesn’t survive until Spring—
—Spring won’t come.

The Big Wee Hag is back, and is she ever frosted! by C.A. Wulff
What happens when the Wintersmith (discworld’s version of Jack Frost) falls in love with a teenage witch in training? Why, he makes snowflakes in her likeness, of course…and then he snows them down on the world by the billions, until the land, the houses and even the sheep are buried in them. And what does a young witch do when she is showered with this sort of attention? Well, she gets very very embarrassed. The whole sordid and hilarious mess is right here in the third book of the Tiffany Aching series: another great young readers novel by Terry Pratchett. You’ll have to read the book to find out how Tiffany deals with the affections of the Wintersmith, and all the ways he/it tries to win her love, and how the Nac Mac Feegle come to help the “Big Wee Hag” out of a truly elemental mess. Just be prepared to do a lot of laughing along the way.
- C.A. Wulff, author of Born Without a Tail
A nice finale by Vern
This is the third of the Tiffany Aching trilogy. The books could easily be read individually as Pratchett is a wonderful author, skilled enough to make each book stand alone and at the same time fit together. If you haven’t read any Discworld books yet you’re in for a treat though I personally would start at the beginning and not the end. Though some people like to eat dessert first…
Delightful! by H. Hindle
This is a story about Tiffany Aching, a young witch in training. She stumbles into a situation with the god of winter in which she becomes his first crush. She must rectify the problem before a major disaster is made of the seasons and the people who are subject to the weather’s whims. She learns what it means to be a competent witch along the way.
Very enjoyable story. Fun, irreverent, touching.
Another great Terry Pratchett book by Kurt A. Johnson
This is another book in Terry Pratchett’s series on the Discworld - a flat world, supported on the backs of four massive elephants riding on the back of a planet-sized turtle, anything hilarious can happen here, and eventually does.
In this sequel to A Hat Full of Sky and The Wee Free Men, young Tiffany Aching’s apprenticeship in witchcraft get interrupted when she is taken to see the dancing of the Black Morris, and she unwisely joins the dance. The Wintersmith, quite literally Winter himself, is quite taken with this brash young women, and begins the courtship to end all courtships…literally.
This is another great Terry Pratchett book - I must say that I really like the Tiffany Aching books, and really, really like the Nac Mac Feegle. There’s some great additions here, including the presence of Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax. So, let me just say that if you are a Discworld fan, you will not be disappointed. If you like good (no, great!) fantasy stories, then read the three Tiffany Aching stories, and have the time of your life. I give this book two thumbs up!
