A funny, charming, delightful book about what happens when you have to move to a new town, start a new school AND cope with having a baby sister who is a witch!

Debi Gliori cleverly dramatises sibling rivalry in both the home and school situation by bringing touches of humour to the daily mishaps

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

Enjoyable, comical series full of interesting characters

Funny, typically humorous . . . A must for any Terry Pratchett fan . . . With its witty and slightly confusing plot-twists and hilarious dialogue, this is, without doubt, another great children's book

Suitable for the 10 year old as well as the trendy student

Witty, pacy . . . An ideal introduction to Pratchett's work

Witty and daring

I feel it’s a new dimension in imagination and the prose is beautiful. It is exciting and adventurous.

A unique piece of high fantasy...now very witty and politically aware in its revised version with the new ending

Mouth-watering attention to names and place names... adding greatly to the story's enjoyment factor.The story itself - part saga, legend and adventure - swings along at a fair old clatter. Terry Pratchett's writing is vivid and immediate. He wastes no time. There is little padding. The swiftness of the storyline is everything....For young readers unaware of Pratchett's oeuvre, The Carpet People is a fine introduction
