The Story of Cirrus Flux

'You shall help me find him still . . . there is nowhere for the boy to hide.'

Orphan boy Cirrus Flux is being watched. Merciless rogues are conniving to steal the world's most divine power, which they believe Cirrus has inherited.

Now he faces a perilous journey through the dirty backstreets of London as a sinister mesmerist, a tiny man with an all-seeing eye, and a skull-collecting scoundrel pursue him. Cirrus must escape them. It really is not safe to give such evil people such incredible power . . .

Reviews

A great story . . . Perceptive

—— Guardian

An appealing story told with humour and sensitivity

—— Language and Learning

The combination of quirky humour, sibling rivalry and real-life problems would have had me captivated from start to finish

—— Waterstones Books Quarterly

Enjoyable, comical series full of interesting characters

—— Primary Times

Charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement

Sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books

—— Croydon Advertiser

Lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives

—— Leicester Mercury

Pratchett's usual mix of uproarious comedy and deceptively serious thought

He's probably the funniest writer in English today . . . great themes with huge doses of comedy

—— South Wales Evening Post

Funny and winning as ever

—— Nottingham Evening Post

Crackles with energy and humour

—— Leicester Mercury

Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix.

—— Nicolette Jones , Sunday Times

Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling...If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book.

—— In Dublin

Exhuberant energy and humour...

—— Children's Bookseller

...charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement...

—— Books for Keeps

Wintersmith is not written and does not read as a "young adult" book, and succeeds all the more for that. Very enjoyable.

—— Dreamwatch

...sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books.

[The Discworld books] have retained the lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives
