The Wee Free Men


The Wee Free Men
Terry Pratchett
95 of 315 pages
Fiction

Quote from the book: “Open your eyes and then open your eyes again.” This is a quote that Miss Tick, the witch that finds other potential witches, says to Tiffany. I think this quote is important and interesting, because in this book, witches are a lot smarter than all the other people. They question why things happen and think about things a lot more than normal people. They always want to know everything about what happened; all sides, and that’s why they sometimes need to open their eyes again to find out everything.

What happened until now: Tiffany really wants to be a witch, and she is determined to become one and convinced that her grandma was one too. After she beats up a mean monster coming out of the river and that wanted to eat her brother, she meets Miss Tick who tells her that she has potential and already acts a bit like a witch. Then, something horrible happens. “The Queen” kidnaps her brother, and she wants to get him back with the help of other witches and the Nac Mac Feegle, the small men that think of them as small giants that can do everything and aren’t afraid of anything.    
She also has Miss Tick’s speaking toad with her, who is not sure if he used to be human or if a ferry just made him think that, but she still tries to help her and advise her with what to do.

This book is interesting and really fun to read. It’s a fairytale from the Discworld, and there are a lot of weird and unknown creatures living in this world.
