Terry Pratchett - The Wee Free Men
Pratchett is guaranteed good reading: The man just never seems to run out of ideas. In this book we get to explore the discworld universe from a different point of view, although two familiar faces make a brief appearance.
Tiffany Aching is a classic diskworld hero. She's innocent, she's only 9 years old, and yet she always manages to do the right thing. As goes the way with witches, saving the world comes before learning magic - but don't worry, magic is really just for show, and who needs magic anyway when you have natural cunning and unexpected help from the most feared little blue men around - The Wee Free Men!
Miss Tick looked up.
"That little creature in the boat was a Nac Mac Feegle!" she said. "The most feared of all the fairy races! Even trolls run away from the Wee Free Men! And one of them warned her!"
"She's the witch, then, is she?" said the voice.
"At that age? Impossible!" said Miss Tick. There's been no one to teach her! There's no witches on the Chalk! It's too soft. And yet... she wasn't scared..."
On the Upside: Original, Funny, Enchanting.
On the Downside: Light reading.
