Book description
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.
