**Warning**
This thread is for discussing A Hat Full of Sky in some depth. If you haven’t read the book then read on at your own risk – or, better still, go and read the book and join in the fun.
For those of us that are going to join in the discussion, here are a few guidelines:
Please feel free to make comparisons to other Discworld books, making sure you identify the book and the passage you are referring to. Others may not be as familiar with the book you are referencing, so think before you post.
Sometimes we’ll need to agree to disagree – only Terry knows for sure what he was thinking when he wrote the books and individuals members may have widely different interpretations – so try to keep the discussion friendly.
We may be discussing a book that you don’t much care for – don’t be put off joining in the discussion. If you didn’t care for the book, then that in itself is a good topic for discussion.
Please note: there is no time limit to this discussion. Please feel free to add to it at any time - especially if you've just read the book.
And finally:
Please endeavour to keep the discussion on topic. If necessary I will step in and steer it back to the original topic – so no digressions please!

A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett

Thanks Sharlene!
I’ve always liked this book and the more I read it, the more I like it. It’s about (amongst other things) the difference between wishing for something and working for it. It’s about how impractical magic is when it comes to helping people and how the real magic is getting people to help themselves. I also think the Feegles, with the arrival of Jeanie, are far more developed from the first book.
But what did you think?
