A book about witches with no owls and not a pair of round spectacles in sight. The new Hunger Games,I suspect... Brilliant and utterly compelling - I loved it.

Teens rejoice: the inheritor to Stephenie Meyer's crown has arrived.

Edgy, arresting and brilliantly written, Half Bad grips you from the first page and doesn't let go.

A brilliant debut that is both deeply unique and unsettling, one that chilled me to the bone and broke my heart even as I sped through its pages. This will haunt you.

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].
