Mort
Terry Pratchett (Author), Josh Kirby (Illustrator)
Mort has been chosen as Death's apprentice. He gets board and lodging and free use of the company horse, and doesn't even need time off for his grandmother's funeral. The trouble begins when instead of collecting the soul of a princess, he kills her would-be assassin, and changes history
