I had never read a Terry Pratchett story before - I don't think this one will be my last! I read a review of this in the Washington Post a few months ago and immediately put it on my wish list.
Having never read Pratchett, I was not sure what to expect and found myself immediately immersed in a very exciting, humorous, entertaining story. It was basically a simple story of a boy on a South Pacific island who loses everything after a giant tsunami destroys his world. A young girl is also shipwrecked on the island and together they rebuild the Nation with the help of others who eventually show up in canoes from other nearby locations. The story takes place in an alternate reality sometime in the 19th century. There are some really great moments in the story and overall it was very enjoyable. Highly recommend.
