NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR:
• Terry's books have landed on three New York Times bestseller lists: the Children’s Chapter Book list, the Picture Book list, and the Adult Fiction list!
• Terry’s last two children’s books were NYT bestsellers—Nation and Wintersmith (the third book in the Tiffany Aching Adventures).
ACCLAIM AND SALES FOR THE ADVENTURES OF TIFFANY ACHING:
•The Tiffany Aching Adventures have a slew of awards and twelve starred reviews among them!
•Tiffany has been called “a winning heroine” (starred PW review), and has been welcomed into the ranks of strong, independent children’s heroines, drawing comparisons to “Meg Murry of A Wrinkle in Time, Coraline of Neil Gaiman’s novel, Lyra Belacqua of The Golden Compass, [and] Miss Bianca of The Rescuers” (Washington Post).
• The series has sold more than 365,000 copies to date, all editions combined (Wee Free Men: 155K; A Hat Full of Sky: 112K, Wintersmith: 100K).
•This bind-up is perfectly positioned to catch and build the excitement around the series finale, I Shall Wear Midnight.
INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR:
•Terry’s books have sold more than 65 million copies worldwide, and his children’s books have been translated into over two dozen languages.
EVER-INCREASING PRATCHETT PROFILE:
In the four years since the previous Tiffany Aching book (Wintersmith, 2006), Terry’s profile has only grown:
•More New York Times bestsellers in Children’s and Adult
•Major national awards for his last children’s book, Nation
•The first North American Discworld Convention—a fan-run event of 1,000 people—was held in September 2009 to celebrate Terry and his books! A second convention is planned for 2011.

IN A NUTSHELL:
“Reading Terry Pratchett is like throwing a party for your brain. His subject is the whole of human history, culture, religion, science, and everything in between.”—Book of the Month Club
“In his range of invented characters, his adroit storytelling, and his clear-eyed acceptance of humankind’s foibles, Pratchett reminds me of no one in English literature as much as Geoffrey Chaucer. No kidding.”—Washington Post Book World
“Pratchett should be recognized as one of the more significant contemporary English language satirists.”—Publishers Weekly
