'Outside! What's it like?'
Masklin looked blank. 'Well,' he said. 'It's sort of big - '

To the thousands of tiny nomes who live under the floorboards of a large department store, there is no Outside. Things like Day and Night, Sun and Rain are just daft old legends.

Then a devastating piece of news shatters their existence: the Store - their whole world - is to be demolished. And it's up to Masklin, one of the last nomes to come into the Store, to mastermind an unbelievable escape plan that will take all the nomes into the dangers of the great Outside...

The first title in the magnificent trilogy, The Bromeliad.

 

 

 
I missed the joy of reading Terry Pratchett's children's books due to the misfortune of being born far too late. That doesn't mean I can't catch up and read them now. I'm looking forward to reading these, and seeing just how much of them are really written for children and how much of his genius is geared towards their parents.
