As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy.

But someone - or something - is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches.

Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root. Aided by the tiny-but-tough Wee Free Men, Tiffany faces a dire challenge, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her...

I Shall Wear Midnight is the fourth book in the Tiffany Aching series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Critic reviews

Teen witch Tiffany is one of [Pratchett's]most formidable creations yet

Tiffany Aching fans should be ecstatic.

Writing at the height of his powers . . . he makes us laugh a lot.

funny

... everything gets very funny

Adventure, magic and the usual dark, dry humour will keep you entertained from start to finish.

There are entertaining twists, humorous moments, and just enough romance to leave everyone happy at the end of the book.

a must for all Pratchett fans

As the well-places plot unravels in Pratchett's inimitable style, it goes without saying that everything gets very funny.
Like Tiffany, Pratchett has always known that "laughter helps things slide into the thinking".

(Alex Sarll, Sarah O'Meara)

Pratchett's book is suffused with an awareness of the thankless exhaustion which awaits people in the caring professions.

Best book in the series

This book is the pinnacle of the Discworld series. It’s astonishing for what is technically an entry in the younger readers series.
