Description
To the thousands of tiny nomes living under the floorboards of a large department Store, there is no Outside. No Day or Night, no Sun or Rain. They're just daft old legends. Until they hear the devastating news that the Store is to be demolished . . .
And so their journey begins.
From the store to an abandoned quarry - where they find the monster Jekub - and on to a place where they must steal one of those space shuttle things, all the nomes want is to get home again. They don't mean to cause any trouble . . .
A magnificent trilogy of tales about about a race of little people struggling to survive in a world full of humans.
From Carnegie Medal-winning author, Terry Pratchett.
Hilariously inventive, marvellously witty and highly original, THE BROMELIAD is a magnificent trilogy of tales about a race of little people struggling to survive in a world full of humans. Contains Truckers, Diggers and Wings.
About the Author
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

Reviews
Witty, funny, wise and altogether delightful.
* Locus *Pratchett gives his cast plenty of personality and fuels the plot with nonstop comedy.
* Kirkus Reviews *As always, [Terry Pratchett] is head and shoulders above even the best of the rest. He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style . . . Splendid * Daily Telegraph *
Terry Pratchett once again succeeds in combining a subtle blend of humour, wisdom and naive simplicity * The School Librarian *
