    Bromeliad Trilogy Series

    By Terry Pratchett

    3.5/5

    About this series

    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.

    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.

    Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think—and to think BIG.

    Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett's conclusion of the engaging Bromeliad 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.

      4/5 - 14 ratings

      From the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett, beloved and bestselling author of the Discworld fantasy series, comes the first book in the comic and insightful Bromeliad trilogy.  The nomes are ready for their Bright New Dawn! But the trouble with Bright New Dawns is that they're usually followed by cloudy days. With scattered showers. Still, a group of tiny nomes is finally adjusting to a new home at the abandoned quarry, when a Sign arrives announcing the quarry is to be reopened. The humans are coming to mess things up (as usual), but this time the nomes might just fight back — if they can find a way to rouse the mysterious Dragon in the Hill. The adventure continues in Diggers and Wings. Praise for Truckers, Diggers, and Wings: “Witty, funny, wise, and altogether delightful.”—Locus Magazine Meet more of Sir Terry Pratchett’s tiny-but-fierce heroes in the Discworld novel The Wee Free Men!
