The Wee Free Men: The Beginning (Discworld - Tiffany Aching #1-2)
Laugh-out-loud humor and breathtaking action combine in the books that launched the unforgettable adventures of a determined young witch and her tiny but fierce blue friends.
God Bless Terry Pratchett. Here's a funny, witty and absurd set of tales in a finely crafted world. Finally, a female protagonist that I can wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend to my (11 year old) daughter. Our heroine, Tiffany Aching (age 9 as the story begins) isn't waiting around for her Prince Charming. In fact, there's no idiotic and vapid romance to be found here. Oh, I suppose there's Roland, the Baron's son. But he's a dolt. Tiffany knows she wants to be a witch and heads off
I'm working on a fantasy reading challenge, and one of the categories was comic fantasy, and, to be quite honest with you, I really struggled with this one even though Pratchett is my husband's favorite author. Ive read what I wanted of the series and I was cool. Really enjoyed Good Omens and Equal Rites, and really? Content with that. So this time, husband and I went back and forth -- I wanted to read about Susan but not about Mort and not really even particularly about Death, so I tried Soul
Two of the funniest children's books I have ever read. (And The Wee Free Men, which is the less well-known, is the funnier.)
I had a hard time understanding the Feegles' language sometimes. Interesting stories, and I liked how "witchcraft" was more of using what nature has to offer. Tiffany is a natural and does well with the life lessons she learns along the way.
Review: The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett.This book contains two books. The first is The Wee Free Men: The Beginning and the second is A Hat Full of Sky, Terry Pratchett is a wonderful writer of fantasy. However, enjoyable as it was I thought it was more for the young teen group. I have always liked young adult books but this one was somewhat immature for me. Young readers will love the book. I only read the first book and plan to return to the second book at another time. With plenty of witty
Absolutely loved this book about a young girl who finds her way in the world and embraces who she is. Also, what's not to love about witches who help you on your journey and little tiny blue men with their own issues to deal with. Loved it! Tiffany Aching is the kind of hero I'd like to be.Terry Pratchett certainly has a way with words... found myself chuckling out loud with some of his clever phrases and how he presents a view of the world."Are you listening?""Yes," said Tiffany."Good, Now...if

These are two books in one. I thoroughly enjoyed the first, liking the feisty main character, a young girl who wants to be a witch. The second was a pleasant, easy read, but not as captivating as the first.God Bless Terry Pratchett. Here's a funny, witty and absurd set of tales in a finely crafted world.
