"Pratchett's Discworld yarns . . . are comic masterpieces. This one, unfailingly amusing and sometimes hysterically funny, is recommended for anyone with the slightest trace of a sense of humor."--Kirkus Reviews
The Discworld goes rock-and-roll crazy for a new band with a killer sound in this witty send up from New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett.
Being sixteen is always difficult, but it's even more so when there's a Death in the family. An orphan with a skeletal grandfather who rides a white horse and wields a scythe, Susan hasn't exactly had a traditional upbringing.
When the Grim Reaper unexpectedly goes on sabbatical, running the family business falls to the schoolgirl, who shows real talent for the trade, even if everyone mistakes her for the Tooth Fairy. All goes well until she meets Imp, a boy with empty pockets and big rock-and-roll dreams who makes her heartstrings sing.
Determined to devote his life to music, Imp forms a band, acquires a magical guitar, and quicky shoots to fame thanks to the group's addictive new sound. "Music With Rocks In." has an irresistible beat and you can dance to it. But it also changes people. And it's taking the Discworld by storm. . . .
The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Soul Music is the third book in the Death series. The full collection includes:
Mort The Reaper Man Soul Music Hogfather Thief of Time
