The Wee Free Men

Author: Terry Pratchett

Tiffany Aching, a young witch-in-training, faces her first real challenge when the Queen of Fairies kidnaps her little brother. Armed with nothing but a frying pan and her wits, she teams up with the Nac Mac Feegle – tiny, blue, kilt-wearing, sheep-stealing pictsies – to rescue him. Pratchett’s wit shines through in this delightful tale of courage, friendship, and the power of believing in yourself. I couldn’t put it down, laughing out loud at the Feegles’ antics and cheering for Tiffany’s growth. A perfect blend of humor and heart.

All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!
