Out of the Woods

The fun fair is in town! With its clouds of pink candyfloss and whirling big wheel, what child could resist such temptation? Little do the Eden sisters know that they are being lured into a wicked witch's lair . . .

Barely escaping from a deadly game of hide-and-seek in the enchanted fair, our three heroines flee through the woods, with several ravenous wolves and a sweet-toothed lion hot on their heels. But now they face their biggest challenge yet. Will the Eden sisters ever truly be out of the woods?

Reviews

This is an exciting adventure story which will keep you intrigued with every turn of the page . . . This book will certainly enchant children

—— My Child

A magical mixture of old-fashioned fairy stories, thrilling action, a cast of wacky characters and dark and devilish deeds. With lashings of humour, some knockabout fun and plenty of illustrations by the talented Mini Grey, there is plenty here to keep young readers entertained

—— Lancashire Evening Post

This extraordinary, multi-layered masterpiece will harness the imaginations of children and adults now and in future generations.

—— Daily Mail

An absorbing mix of science-fiction and historical novel

—— The School Librarian

Lots of surprises and plot twists in this excellent, really gripping story

—— Primary Times

The third-person narration, filtered through Callum’s delightfully insecure-and- overcompensating-with-snarky-bravado perspective, carries a tone that will likely have readers chortling in recognition. A promising beginning to a complex exploration of good and evil, as well as friendship’s loyalty

—— Kirkus

I definitely don't want to give anything away about the ending, but I have to give the authors credit for a really stunning climax which had me desperate to get my hands on the next in this 5-book series. I can't wait to find out where we go from here!

—— Jim Dean , YA Yeah Yeah

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

—— Publishers Weekly (starred review)

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

—— Michael Dirda , Washington Post

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

—— Imogen Russell Williams , Metro

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.'

—— James Lovegrove , Financial Times

Something to treasure

—— Kirkus Reviews

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].

—— Juliette Harrisson , Den of Geek
