Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) was the acclaimed creator of the globally revered Discworld series. In all, he authored more than fifty bestselling books, which have sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

Astonishing." -- Horn Book (starred review)"Tiffany is Hermione Granger, Gaiman's Coraline, and Pullman's Lyra Belacqua rolled into one. A great adventure with plenty of magic and laughs." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)"By turns hilarious and achingly beautiful, this be just right." -- Kirkus Reviews"Readers will curl up to read with a sigh of contentment." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"Full of irreverent humor, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and many memorable characters. Fans of the previous book are in for another treat." -- School Library Journal
