About this book

<p>From the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett, beloved and bestselling author of the Discworld fantasy series comes a comic and insightful trilogy about a race of four-inch-high heroes trying to make sense of a human-size world.</p> <p>In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember--or even believe in--life beyond the Store walls.</p> <p>Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed.</p> <p>Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think -- and to think BIG.</p> <p>Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett's engaging trilogy traces the nomes' flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams.</p> <p>Praise for the Bromeliad trilogy: "Witty, funny, wise, and altogether delightful."--Locus Magazine</p> <p>Meet more of Sir Terry Pratchett's tiny-but-fierce heroes in the Discworld novel The Wee Free Men!</p>
