29 April 2004 | Publication | A Hat Full of Sky arrived in 2004 as the second of Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching novels to a reception that matched and in some quarters exceeded the warmth shown to The Wee Free Men. Critics and readers alike recognised that Pratchett was doing something genuinely substantial within the framework of children's fantasy - the coming of age themes and Tiffany's internal struggle with the Hiver gave the book a psychological depth that sat comfortably alongside his adult Discworld work. It won the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year, confirming Pratchett's standing as a writer who transcended easy genre categorisation. |
