Tiffany Aching is 9 years old and lives on the chalk. She has a sticky little brother named Wentworth and works fairly happily in the dairy on her family's farm. But then Jenny Green-Teeth appeared in the river and tried to steal Wentworth and Tiffany found herself with a Nac Mac Feegle infestation. And then Wentworth went missing and there was no one else to go get him back.

Tiffany Aching is one of my favorite Discworld characters. Her practical nature and second and third thoughts have always intrigued me. The Wee Free Men are rowdy pictsies and I adore them. One of my favorite Discworld books. ( )

Beautiful, humorous, and an excellent set up for more adventures. Did I mention I will always love Discworld and long to visit? ( )

I was basically lost the entire time but there were a handful of good quotes or sayings through the book. Read as part of my 2024 reading challenge recommended by Sarah K. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
Some things start before other things.
Quotations
No wonder we dream our way through our lives. To be awake, and see it all as it really is ... no one could stand that for long.
Now ... if you trust in yourself ... and believe in your dreams ... and follow your star ... you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.
“Yes! I'm me! I am careful and logical and I look up things I don't understand! When I hear people use the wrong words, I get edgy! I am good with cheese. I read books fast! I think! And I always have a piece of string! That's the kind of person I am!”
“Zoology, eh? That's a big word, isn't it."

"No, actually it isn't," said Tiffany. "Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite short.”
