What's the book that comes before this one? Do you need to read it in order to be aware of what's happening in the story? I ask this because I just bought this one without knowing there might be another book before this story starring Tiffany Aching.

Cliff Jr. There is so much re-description of the Nac Mac Feegle in the beginning and general recapping throughout that I don't think you'll be lost if you start…moreThere is so much re-description of the Nac Mac Feegle in the beginning and general recapping throughout that I don't think you'll be lost if you start with this one. It's a stand-alone story in its own right, whether you know how Tiffany Aching got her start in witching or not.

That being said, you've really got to read The Wee Free Men, so if you choose to start with A Hat Full of Sky, it should only be because you're too impatient to wait until you can get ahold of a copy of The Wee Free Men.(less)

Why is this book so weird? Is it like a magical fairy tale or a witchcraft story?

Arwen Mellor Ahhh now THERE’S a good question for ya!
This book is so weird because the masterful Terry Pratchett wrote it. He wrote weird books full of weird stori…moreAhhh now THERE’S a good question for ya!
This book is so weird because the masterful Terry Pratchett wrote it. He wrote weird books full of weird stories about characters that some would think weird. However within all that weirdness he somehow manages to encompass and reveal the commonality that can be found within all of humanity. This IS a book like a magical fairy tale. It is also a book about witchcraft. This is not a how-to book but it has plenty to help you learn how to believe in yourself and find what is special about YOU. This book(this whole series honestly) is magic.(less)
