Terry Pratchett's A Hat Full of Sky

Terry Pratchett's third book geared towards children is a great novel for adults and his fans. The book is a follow up to the Wee Free Men -- it follows the adventures of Tiffany Aching, an eleven year old witch and excellent cheese maker. In the Wee Free Men, Tiffany saved her world from the Queen of the Fairies, with the help of the Nac Mac Feegle. This time around, she's out to learn witchcraft, and save herself -- along for the ride are the Nac Mac Feegle again, with Rob Anybody, Daft Wullie and Awfully Wee Billy Bigchin. Anyone who's familiar with the Discworld series will enjoy this book. You will also get to see Granny Weatherwax is a completely new light. Great novel! [Order from: Amazon or ChaptersIndigo.]
Ach, stick it up yer trakkans!

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
