There's plenty of Pratchett's trademark humour to enjoy... Fantastic fantasy and laugh-out-loud humour make this a real treat.

—— Stacia Briggs , Norwich Telegraph

Sure to be a huge seller over Christmas, the fantastic new teen title from the king of fantasy, Terry Pratchett....This is much darker than the previous Tiffany novels, as Tiffany grows up along with the readers. That said, it's still filled with Pratchett's trademark quircky humour.

—— Clare Mitchell , Yorkshire Post

If you must have more contemporary fantasy for your almost-teens, then the bogglingly prolific Terry Prachett has a new junior Discworld title: I Shall Wear Midnight

—— The Independant on Sunday

Although I Shall Wear Midnight, the fourth volume in the Tiffany Aching books by master of fantasy worlds Terry Pratchett is marked as being for younger readers, this is a book that older fans can't help but enjoy. Full of puns, allusions and some very odd characters, including Tiffany's ex, this is a book to laugh your way through.

—— Caroline Franklin , Newbury Weekly News

There are suprising revelations about other acquaintances in this action packed story with dark moments lightened by humour, not least from the wonderful Nac Mac Feegles. Full length novel for older, capable readers.
