My 9 year old daughter and I listen to audiobooks whenever we drive longer than 15 minutes and this is one of our favorites. I find myself giggling at the thought of Rob Anybody and the Jock-not-so-big-but-big-than-Jock Jock and their escapades. Humor aside, I like the message that looking at things and thinking through them is more important than being able to do magic. We should all have First Look and Second Thought. Especially since they usually help Tiffany sort things out on her own before Nac Mac Feegle returns to the scene from any fun that distracts them from the current crisis.

I’ve been listening to Terry Pratchett’s books at work for several years and this is one of the best. Tiffany, the nine-year-old witch, and Nac Mac Feegle are both fun and serious at the same time, and the sense of place, “Land Under the Waves” plays a big part in the book is wonderfully evoked. I laugh often and love Terry’s rework of some very traditional fantasy themes as seen through his particular set of cracked lenses. I would recommend this to both adults and older kids, especially little girls who need some heroes of their own, and especially to the parents of those little girls. Just a great read.

I love Wee Free Men, so a book about them is a real treat. Pratchett’s new character Tiffany is amazing, maybe a little older than her by 9 years, but still an interesting character. Treat yourself and get this audiobook!

I’ve been an adult for a long time and found this adult/kids series very enjoyable. The plot is light but interesting but the humor makes you laugh out loud. Not sweet but not gloomy either. NacMacFleegals and Wee Big Hag for easy listening.
