精彩书评：
“普拉切特的作品把青少年们带入了一个每天都充满着幽默、毅力和希望的世界。”——玛格丽特·爱德华奖评委会主席罗宾布伦纳

 “他不是在想象一个平行世界，他是在重新构建我们的世界。他的奇幻风格类似——应该说等同于拉伯雷、伏尔泰、斯威夫特、冯内古特和道格拉斯·亚当斯……”——卡内基大奖/《卫报》小说奖得主弗兰克·科特雷尔·博伊斯

“这是一本杰出的文学作品——对魔笛手故事的天才般的改编，非常幽默，打破常规，但同时直面黑暗和颠覆。”——卡内基大奖评审主席凯伦·亚瑟

“他提高了国民阅读率！”——布克奖得主、重量级女作家A.S.拜厄特

“特里是伟大的奇幻作家……”——《冰与火之歌》作者乔治R.R.马丁

“特里·普拉切特在奇幻界的地位可不得了，他的《碟形世界》影响力不在《魔戒》之下。”——复旦大学中文系教授严锋

“一出有着让人难忘的动物角色的高质量喜剧。特里·普拉切特精妙的智慧（特别是他的文字游戏），让人很容易低估了这个故事中深刻的主题。”——《你长大前必读的1001本童书》作者朱莉娅·艾克勒谢

“表达的是深刻的主题，但保留了幽默。”——《今日美国》

“惊人的幽默，凶猛的智慧。”——《柯克斯》书评

The Amazing Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. This streetwise alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk his way into and out of anything. But when Maurice and his cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will take more than fast talking to survive the danger that awaits.
For this is a town where food is scarce and rats are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hunger-stricken streets....
Set in Terry Pratchett’s beloved Discworld, this masterfully crafted, gripping read is both compelling and funny. When one of the world’s most acclaimed fantasy writers turns a classic fairy tale on its head, no one will ever look at the Pied Piper—or rats—the same way again!

Review：
“Delves into weighty issues but keeps its sense of dark humor.” — USA Today

“Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Pratchett rethinks a classic story and comes up with a winner. A not–to–be–missed delight.” —School Library Journal

“Manages to be hilarious, moving, scary, impishly vulgar and wickedly wise, sometimes all at once.” — Locus Magazine

“Pratchett’s absorbing, suspenseful adventure is deepened by a willingness to tackle the questions of existence.” —Horn Book Magazine

“Pure, unadulterated fun. The action is fast paced, the dialogue witty, unforgettable.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

“For this outrageously cheeky tale, Pratchett pairs a dynamite plot with memorable characters.”  —Publishers Weekly

茫茫宇宙中，一只巨龟正缓缓地游过星星间的深渊。它的背上立着四头巨象，巨象的肩膀上驮着一块无比辽阔的平板，平板的边缘则是绵长的瀑布。平板上是一个和我们生活的地球有点儿像，却又不太一样的世界，生活着和我们相似却又不太一样的人。这就是碟形世界。和我们的世界相比，它的“历史”不算悠久，不过应该比你的年纪要大一些。1983年，第1本关于碟形世界的书《魔法的颜色》面世。之后，作者特里·普拉切特共出版了四十一本碟形世界小说。记住，在碟形世界里，一切怪事，皆有可能。

1.The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents《碟形世界：猫和少年魔笛手》
在碟形世界里，谁都知道魔笛手的故事：付够了钱，魔笛手吹着笛子带走老鼠；得罪了他，被带走的就是孩子。但少年魔笛手看起来只是一只猫的赚钱“工具”而已——一只一不小心获得了思考能力的猫。而老鼠们，以寻找“鼠类理想国”为人生目标的老鼠们，则是这个团队里的“鼠灾”演员，同时也是团队的不稳定因素——因为他们太有“道德感”了。这一天，他们来到了一个名叫“糟糕的布林兹”的小城，准备再次施展这个诡计，但事情却有些不对劲……

Tiffany wants to be a witch when she grows up. A proper one, with a pointy hat. And flying, she’s always dreamed of flying (though it’s cold up there, you have to wear really thick pants, two layers). But she’s worried Tiffany isn’t a very ‘witchy’ name. And a witch has always protected Tiffany’s land, to stop the nightmares getting through.

3.A Hat Full of Sky《碟形世界3：实习女巫和空帽子》
蒂凡尼获得了一顶帽，作为女巫的魔法和荣誉象征——但它是看不见的。她因此被其他实习女巫们取笑和怀疑。“虚荣”和“蜂怪”趁虚而，想要霸占蒂凡尼的头脑。记住，魔法很强大，但你自己更强大。在你真正获得了相应的能力之后，你并不需要任何装饰品去“证明”它。
Tiffany must use all her witchy cunning to reclaim what’s hers. Luckily, she has a bit of help. What’s tiny, Scottish and blue all over? A Nac Mac Feegle of course – the rudest type of fairy, and handy to have in a tight spot…

4. Wintersmith《碟形世界4：实习女巫和冬神》
实习女巫蒂凡尼因为一次小小的冲动和错误，被冬神紧追不舍。四季不再流转，世界将被冰封。蒂凡尼和小小自由人们，如何与季节之神对抗，让世界回到正轨？是我的错误，不逃避，去承担、去对抗、去成长！
According to her friend Daft Wullie, if Tiffany kisses the Wintersmith (an awful thought), her nose turns blue and fall off. According to the witches, if she doesn’t shake off her admirer, there will never be another springtime…

5. I Shall Wear Midnight《碟形世界5：实习女巫和午夜之袍》
你的敌人从来不是恶魔，而是人们和你自己心里隐藏的“嫉妒”和“偏见”。蒂凡尼知道，她必须自己战胜它——在没有小小自由人的帮助下。终有一天你必须独自面对所有的困难，不指望任何的援手。
Now Tiffany must journey to Ankh-Morpork, to inform the Baron’s heir, Roland, of his father’s death. But on the way she meets something that likes witches very much… a bit too much – an evil ball of spite and malice that has only now woken up.

6. The Shepherd's Crown《碟形世界6：实习女巫和王冠》
蒂凡尼的心灵导师、碟形世界中的女巫首领死了，魔法与现实的边界变得不堪一击。年轻的蒂凡尼被选为继任者，面对整个魔法世界的入侵。如果世界要改变，那就由我来改变——用我自己的方式来改变。
Tiffany Aching has finally got her wish. She is a witch (and a respected one, at that). Overworked and underpaid, that’s for certain, but a witch nonetheless. Help is at hand though. In the form of young Geoffrey and his goat. Geoffrey wants to be a witch too, and thinks he can save the world by building sheds. Well, everyone has to start somewhere. But as new friends are made, and old ones return, enemies are stirring. With her beloved chalk in jeopardy, Tiffany will face the toughest challenge of her life.
