Wee Free Men
Terry Pratchet
Fantasy
The title of the book is “Wee Free men” by Terry Pratchet. The genre is defiantly fantasy, but it has lots of adventure and comedy in it. So far we understand that Tiffany is a girl that lives on the farm and is a very curious girl with a smaller annoying brother. The story starts with a witch making an experiment and finding a hole in that reality touching with another one. Then as she observes this other reality she finds that there is another witch in the other reality but she could see that this witch isn't experienced and so she decided to hop over and have a look. Meanwhile in the other reality the witch whom we also know as Tiffany is observing her surrounding while taking care of her little brother who is playing around in the mud. Then she notices he is trying to eat mud so she goes near him explaining that mud is not to be eaten. Then as she has given this oh so important information she start to “tickle a fish”, but suddenly the fish swims away and Tiffany notices two small blue men on a leaf which she supposed that their boat. As they came closer she could hear that they are speaking in a really strong dialect. They were arguing and hurrying somewhere. Then as they disappeared in the weeds Tiffany noticed that the water is becoming dark and suddenly a monster jumped out and went for her brother, luckily she was ready and smacked it across the head with a pan and went home with her brother straight after. Now she was looking for an answer and planned on looking through their books, but all they had is their grandma’s sheep book and a dictionary, so she asked her mom for some food that she could go to see a traveling group of teachers to look for an answer. There she meet the other witch but she doesn't know that this “teacher” is a witch and here we understand that neither does Tiffany know that she herself is a witch. Then the woman uses that opportunity and gets as much information about this monster as she can. The next few days go as normal but one day Tiffany notices that there is something suspicious going on while he is making cheese and gets angry and starts warning the little men that she suspects are behind this and when she finishes she notices that the cheese she was making is finished.
