A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero

The appealing humourous drawings on every page will make this an instant favourite

Perfect for that potentially tricky new reader stage and especially for those who revel in otherness

Thoroughly entertaining, with amusing illustrations and a subtle underlying message about discrimination

Take our word for it, this book is going to be huge.

Brilliantly paced with more than a few nasty surprises, Half Bad is a wickedly addictive read that will capture the imagination of any fan of YA fiction.

Not since the Harry Potter books - yes, I said it! - have I felt so fully immersed in an author's creation... I couldn't be more stoked over Half Bad, and this launch novel of a trilogy truly deserves all the hype surrounding it - and much more...

Pratchett's final work is a tour de force of compassion, great wit, and gleeful storytelling.

A worthy crown to Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal artistic achievement.

The last Discworld offering is a poignant farewell, both to Pratchett's readership and to his extraordinary world.

As ever in Pratchett's work, empathy and compassion are foregrounded. With its humour and humaneness, it reminds us, too, that its author, as Tiffany says of her deceased friend, 'is . . . was . . . unfollowable.'

Something to treasure

Funny, sad and extremely moving . . . most will likely consider it one of the strongest, and certainly one of the most – possibly the most – moving [of the Discworld novels].
