Description

"Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy."—Sunday Times

Movie mania sweeps across the Discworld creating disaster in its wake in this delightful take on Tinseltown and the lure of glamour, fame, close-ups, and big dreams from acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.

A new phenomenon is taking over the Discworld: moving pictures. The alchemists of Ankh-Morpork have discovered how to get gold from silver—the silver screen, that is. Soon, the growing "clicks" industry moves to the sandy land of Holy Wood, attracted by the light of the sun and some strange un-nameable calling.

Victor Tugelbend, a wizarding student dropout who can't sing and can't dance wants to be a star, just like small-town girl Theda "Ginger" Withel. But the click of moving pictures isn't just stirring up dreams inside Discworld. Holy Wood's magic is drifting out into the boundaries of the universes, where raw realities, the could-have-beens, the might-bes, and the never-weres are beginning to ferment with some wild ideas into a really stinky brew. Because belief is powerful in the Discworld, and sometimes downright dangerous, and the magic of movies might just unravel reality itself.

It's up to Victor and Gaspode the Wonder Dog to rein in the chaos and return order to a star-struck Discworld. Are they ready to play the biggest roles of their lives?

        Terry Pratchett (1948–2015) is the acclaimed creator of the globally revered Discworld series. In all, he authored more than fifty bestselling books, which have sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
