Discworld 31: Monstrous Regiment

Polly Perks joins the Discworld army to find her brother Paul. 'Ozzer' cuts off her blonde braids, dons male garb, belches, scratches, and masters macho habits - aided by well-placed pair of socks. The legendary and seemingly ageless Sergeant Jackrum accepts her plus a vampire, troll, zombie, religious fanatic, and two close 'friends'. The best man for the job may be a woman.
