Synopsis
"Thought-provoking as well as fun, this is Pratchett at his most philosophical, with characters and situations sprung from ideas and games with language. And it celebrates the joy of the moment" (Nicolette Jones The Times) "Nation has profound, subtle and original things to say about the interplay between tradition and knowledge, faith and questioning . . . It's funny, exciting, lighthearted and, like all the best comedy, very serious" (Frank Cottrell Boyce Guardian) "Pratchett's immensely entertaining new young adult novel, manages to be both thought-provoking and sweet . . . At times Nation reads like Philip Pullman but with less anger and more jokes, and a bit more ambiguity . . . It's a wonderful story, by turns harrowing and triumphant" (James Hynes The New York Times) "Terry Pratchett is an indisputable one-off . . . Nothing he writes is ever predictable - except that it will always be gloriously readable" (Nicholas Tucker Independent) "An ebullient and entertaining novel of ideas" (Guardian)

Review
"It's witty and wise, but it leaves its young readers enough room for a newly formed opinion or two as they think about its themes of love, loss, loyalty, courage, religion and nationhood."-- www.thebookbag.co.uk "An enchanting novel . . . Terry Pratchett is one of the most interesting and critically under-rated novelists we have."-- "The Times" "Pratchett is, like Mark Twain or Jonathan Swift, not just a great writer but also an original thinker."-- "Guardian" "From the Hardcover edition."
Book Description
Washed up on the shores of a remote island, two kids from cultures half a world apart have to learn to get along and survive. Brilliantly funny novel from the master story-teller and creator of Discworld brought to life in audio by Tony Robinson.
