Unseen Academicals

<p><strong>'This isn't just football, it's Discworld football. Or, to borrow another phrase, it's about life, the Universe and everything' </strong><em>The Times</em><br /><br /><strong>The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . </strong><br /><br />Football has come to the ancient city of <strong>Ankh-Morpork</strong>. And now, the wizards of <strong>Unseen University </strong>must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. <br /><br />This is not going to be a gentleman's game.<br /><br /> The prospect of the <strong>Big Match</strong> draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious<strong> Mr Nutt </strong>(and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt) but there is something powerful, and dark, locked away inside him. <br /><br />As the match approaches, secrets are forced into the light and four lives will be entangled and changed for ever. Here we go, here we go, here we go!<br />________________________<br /><br /><em>The Discworld novels can be read in any order but <strong>Unseen Academicals</strong> is the seventh book in the Wizards series. </em></p>
