I should add they're quite advanced readers, so read well above their age.
Have they read a lot of SF/Fantasy? Do you think they'll get a lot of the jokes? If yes, start then with The Colour of Magic. The series is written to be read in published order. If you read out of order, you will spoil the series unless it's a reread.
