35: Wintersmith

The frost is on the pumpkin and the hay is in the barn, disceroonies! On today's episode of DISC COVERERS, we're covering WINTERSMITH, the third Tiffany Aching book from 2006. Tiff is coming into her own as a witch, but like any teenage work study program, she's dealing with her share of issues-- obtuse supervisors, difficult coworkers, absurd workloads, and, of course, boy problems. Will she be able to save the Chalk, and the WORLD, from being frozen by a snowman with boundary issues? Also the Nac Mac Feegles are here. For some reason. LET'S GO!!!! CURRENT RANKING: 1.
