Product Description
Book Description
The second book in Terry Pratchett's terrific fantasy trilogy, The Bromeliad.
Product Description
And Grimma said, We have two choices. We can run, or we hide. And they said, Which shall we do?
She said, We shall Fight.
A Bright New Dawn is just around the corner for thousands of tiny nomes when they move into the ruined buildings of an abandoned quarry. Or is it?
Soon strange things begin to happen. Like the tops of puddles growing hard and cold, and the water coming down from the sky in frozen bits, Then humans appear and they really mess everything up. The quarry is to re-opened, and the nomes must fight to defend their new home. But how long will they be able to keep the humans at bay - even with the help of the monster Jekub?

I really recommend this book. it is the second book in the unbeliveably fantastic Bromeliad trilogy. This book is probably suitable for readers aged 9 upwards, but adults will enjoy it too. The hero of this book Masklin (who is only 4 inches high)departs on a quest at the begining of the book with 2 other nomes. (Angalo and Gurder). Do not be confused if you cannot understand the ending of this book because by reading the 3rd, it will completely make sense of the ending.
This second book is about the nomes trying to find a new life in a quarry after fleeing in the fist book from a Department store where they had lived under the floor boards. They are aliens from an advanced Planet but they don't know it.
In the quarry life is hard going because of lack of food and the annoyance of humans who they have to hide from.The heroine is Grimma who reads lots of books despite some of the nomes thinking girls brains overheat if they read a lot.
Some of the nomes who were born in the store have a strong belief in a God that was thought to have built the store (Arnold Bros est 1905).Others disagree and theres lots of arguments throughout the book.
This is a fantastic adventure book funny and witty and will make a great addition to your bookshelf.
You must read Truckers first though!

My first foray into the world of Terry Pratchett. I was advised to start with this trilogy of Truckers, Diggers and Wings to get into the author's way of writing. I loved them, really funny - I think Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers guide) must have gone to the same school of humour, and once started, I couldn't put them down. I love nomes! Silly, clever and highly entertaining for kids of all ages. Can't wait to start on the discworld series now.
Format:Paperback
This was a great follow on from the first. In short it was great fun. After reading this I knew it would only be a matter of time before I read the final one.

Love this book, I so wish Terry Pratchett was well enough to write more child friendly books. I have read the series Truckers, Diggers and Wings - as an adult aged 28 few years... Read more
