[EAN: 9780385613705], [SC: 2.3], [PU: Random House / Doubleday], NOISBN, Jacket, © 2008: A stand-alone novel by Terry Pratchett. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: On the day the world ends, Mau is on his way home from the Boy's Island. Soon he will be a man. And then the wave comes - a huge wave, dragging black night behind it and bringing a schooner, the 'Sweet Judy', which sails over and through the island rainforest. As the ship comes to a crashing halt, only one soul is left alive (or two, if you counts parrots). The village has gone. The Nation as it was has gone. Now there's just Mau, who wears barely anything, a trouser-man girl who wears far too much, and an awful lot of big misunderstandings. And a lot of not-knowing-what-to-do. Or how to even say that. Together they must forge a new Nation out of the broken pieces. Create a new history. But. Who is guarding the Nation? Where is our beer? The old history isn't going to just lie down and go away, at least not while the Grandfathers still have a voice. And Mau must look into the past before he can face the future:- Review(s): "Wise, witty and filled with Terry Pratchett's inimitable comic satire, this is a terrific adventure that - quite literally - turns the world upsaide down":- (original cost £16.99)., Books<

Alone on a desert island -- everything and everyone he knows and loves has been washed away in a storm -- Mau is the last surviving member of his nation. He's completely alone -- or so he thinks until he finds the ghost girl. She has no toes, wears strange lacy trousers like the grandfather bird, and gives him a stick that can make fire.Daphne, sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy, almost immediately regrets trying to shoot the native boy. Thank goodness the powder was wet and the gun only produced a spark. She's certain her father, distant cousin of the Royal family, will come and rescue her but it seems, for now, that all she has for company is the boy and the foul-mouthed ship's parrot, until other survivors arrive to take refuge on the island. Together, Mau and Daphne discover some remarkable things (including how to milk a pig, and why spitting in beer is a good thing), and start to forge a new nation. Encompassing themes of death and nationhood, Terry Pratchett's new novel is, as can be expected, extremely funny, witty and wise. Mau's ancestors have something to teach us all. Mau just wishes they would shut up about it and let him get on with saving everyone's lives Media > Book, [PU: Doubleday]<
