‘Crivens!’
Tiffany Aching put one foot wrong, made just one little mistake . . .
And now the spirit of winter is in love with her. He gives her roses and icebergs and showers her with snowflakes, which is tough when you’re thirteen, but also just a little bit… cool.
And if Tiffany doesn’t work out how to deal with him, there will never be another springtime…
Crackling with energy and humour, Wintersmith is the third tale in a sequence about Tiffany Aching and the Wee Free Men – the Nac Mac Feegles who are determined to help Tiffany, whether she wants it or not.

I really enjoyed the character growth in this one: Tiffany growing as a witch (and a young woman), Annagramma coming into her own, Rob Anybody’s flourishing literacy, Roland’s foray into hero-dom… Daft Wullie saying exactly the right thing! Already looking forward to the next Discworld adventure.
