Eleven-year-old Tiffany Aching wants to be a real witch. But a real witch doesn’t casually step out of her body, leaving it empty. Tiffany does – and there’s something just waiting for a handy body to take over. Something ancient and horrible which can’t die. Now Tiffany’s got to learn to be a real witch, really quickly, with the help of arch witch Mistress Weatherwax and the truly amazing Miss Level. Oh, yes. And the Nac Mac Feegle – the rowdiest, toughest, smelliest bunch of fairies ever to be thrown out of Fairyland for being drunk at two in the afternoon. They’ll fight anything.
