Soul Music: A Humorous Fantasy in the Discworld Series – Death's Granddaughter Susan and the Power of Rock Music

In this Discworld novel, sixteen-year-old Susan Sto Helit is an orphan whose grandfather is Death himself—a skeletal figure who rides a white horse and carries a scythe. When Death unexpectedly takes a sabbatical, Susan inherits responsibility for running the family business. She proves surprisingly capable at the work, though others often mistake her for the Tooth Fairy. Susan's life changes when she meets Imp, a boy with musical ambitions and little money. Determined to pursue rock and roll, Imp forms a band and acquires a magical guitar. The group quickly gains fame with their distinctive sound, "Music With Rocks In," which has an irresistible beat. However, the music begins to change people and spreads rapidly across the Discworld. Soul Music is the third book in the Death series within the Discworld novels. The series also includes Mort, Reaper Man, Hogfather, and Thief of Time. The Discworld books can be read independently of one another.
