A Hat Full of Sky
Tł. pol.: "Kapelusz pełen nieba ".
Autor: Pratchett, Terry
. Incipient witch Tiffany Aching, who confronted danger in The Wee Free Men (2003), faces even greater peril in this equally quirky sequel. She is taken on as an apprentice witch by Miss Level, who is one person with two bodies--an oddity to say the least. Also, Tiffany is stalked and taken over by a hiver, an invisible, brainless entity that commands and distorts the mind of its host, which eventually dies. Luckily Tiffany is strong enough to hide a section of her mind within herself, but she
is otherwise completely under the control of the hiver. It`s the cantankerous Wee Free Men (or the Nac Mac Feegle) to the rescue, with the help of Miss Level and the wisest, most respected witch of all. The chase is part slapstick, part terror, and in the end, Tiffany herself sets things straight. Pratchett maintains the momentum of the first book, and fans will relish the further adventures of the "big wee hag," as Tiffany is known to the Feegles. Sally Estes (Booklist)

Serie (cykl) Discworld series należy czytać w określonej kolejności:
 | Tom 3 Equal Rites |
 | Tom 4 MortDeath`s apprentice Mort thwarts Death`s attempt to finish off the rather attractive Princess Keli. He kills the assassin and undermines Death so much so that he starts drinking, gambling and having fun. |
![Sourcery : [a Discworld novel] Tom 5](okladki/ISBN/8000/0552131075.jpg) | Tom 5 Sourcery : [a Discworld novel]Sourcery is the fifth Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett, published in 1988. On the Discworld, sourcerers - wizards who are sources of magic, and thus immensely more powerful than normal wizards - were the main cause of the great mage wars that left areas of the disc uninhabitable. Men born the eighth son of an eighth son are commonly wizards. [...] |
 | Tom 7 PyramidesIt isn`t easy being a teenage pharaoh, having to deal with assassins, sphinxes, mad high priests, gods, sacred crocodiles and marching mummies. And all you really want is the chance to do something for young people and the inner cities. |
 | Tom 9 EricEric is the Discworld`s only demonology hacker. Pity he`s not very good at it. All he wants are his three wishes granted -- to be immortal, to rule the world, and have the most beautiful woman in the world fall madly in love with him -- the usual stuff. He calls up Rincewind, probably the most incompetent wizard in the universe. Eric`s in for a [...] |
 | Tom 11 Reaper ManDeath is missing, leaving Discworld in chaos. Ghosts and poltergeists fill the land, and dead rights activist Reg Shoe suddenly has more work than he ever dreamed of. The task of saving the day is left to Windle and Discworld`s undead. |
 | Tom 13 Small godsBrutha is a simple lad. He can`t read or write, but he`s pretty good at growing melons. He would like to overthrow a huge and corrupt church, but what he really wants is for his god to choose someone else to do it. |
 | Tom 16 Soul MusicNepotism is given an unusual spin in Pratchett`s 14th Discworld novel, as Death`s granddaughter picks up the scythe when the Grim Reaper takes a vacation. Trolls, dwarves, magicians and rock music?music played with rocks?figure in this amusing but overlong romp, which begins with the formation of a band by aspiring musician Imp y Celen (aka Buddy). [...] |

 | Tom 22 The last continentThe story opens weeks after the events of Interesting Times, in which Rincewind is magically transported to the continent of Xxxx (aka Fourecks, so named because no one has any clue what its real name is) due to a miscalculation made by the Unseen University wizards. He meets the magical kangaroo Scrappy, who was sent by the creator of Fourecks. [...] |
 | Tom 23 Carpe JugulumIn Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett pastiches the traditions of vampire literature, playing with the mythic archetypes and featuring a tongue-in-cheek reversal of `vampyre` subculture with young vampires who wear bright clothes, drink wine, and stay up until noon. |
 | Tom 26 Thief of timeThe Monks of History live in a Tibetan sort of area known as "enlightenment country." Their job: "to see that tomorrow happens at all."

This would make the Auditors, who [...] |
