About this ebook
'This didn't feel like magic. It felt a lot older than that. It felt like music.'
Being sixteen is always difficult, but it's even more so when there's a Death in the family. Susan hasn't exactly had a normal upbringing, with a skeletal grandfather who rides a white horse and wields a scythe.
When Death decides he needs a well-earned break, he leaves Susan to take over the family business. The only problem is, everyone mistakes her for the Tooth Fairy . . .
Well, not the only problem. There's a new, addictive music in Discworld. It's lawless. It changes people. It's got a beat and you can dance to it.
It's called Music With Rocks In. And it won't fade away . . .
'Genius . . . deals with death with startling originality' New York Times
'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday
Soul Music is the third book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

If you're a fan of this series, you'll live this book. Very funny observations and some great references. Now! That's what I call writing with jokes in! (Read the book, you'll get what I mean).

Wonderfully written as are all of the discworld books. Death is a particular favourite character..so this was difficult to put down.

Pratchet's best. Every Rock fan in the world should read this just to see how many of the hidden references they can find. Love is real & not fade away
About the author
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 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 for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
