On the day the world ends ...Mau is on his way home from the Boys'Island. Soon he will be a man. And then the wave comes - a huge wave,dragging black night behind it and bringing a schooner which sails over and through the island rainforest. The village has gone. The Nation as it was has gone. Now there's just Mau,who wears barely anything,a trouserman girl who wears far too much,and an awful lot of big misunderstandings ...Wise,witty and filled with Terry Pratchett's inimitable comic satire,this is a terrific adventure that - quite literally - turns the world upside down.

MEDIA REVIEWS
"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."
