YA
When the fairy world begins exporting monsters and its queen kidnaps her little brother, Tiffany Aching sets out to bring him back. She is joined by a troupe of tiny, red-beared, blue-tattooed men called the Nac Mac Feegle. Pratchett steers the tale easily between magical adventure and just-as-interesting ordinary life, with comedic interludes, hair-raising danger, and shepherding wisdom mingling in perfect proportions.
