The Wee Free Men: The Beginning
Ratings5
Average rating4.6
When Tiffany Aching sets out to become a witch, she faces ominous foes and gains unexpected allies. As she confronts the Queen of Fairies and battles an ancient, bodiless evil, she is aided (and most ably abetted) by the six-inch-high, fightin', stealin', drinkin' Wee Free Men! Laugh-out-loud humor and breathtaking action combine in the books that launched the unforgettable adventures of a determined young witch and her tiny but fierce blue friends.

What a fun Discworld adventure. For all of those who have had enough of crazy Ankh-Morpork for a while and want to enjoy the country air, so to speak, Tiffany Aching's first adventure is just the thing.
Living on the Chalk, herding sheep and making excellent cheese, Tiffany has decided whe wants to be a witch. When strange creatures start appearing and Tiffany has to stare a headless rider into the eyes it doesn't have, she knows trouble is brewing. Then her brother Wentworth disappears and Tiffany has only her trusted frying pan and an army of little, blue men in kilts and with a preference for strong licqor to aide her in rescuing him.
This was fun on many levels and I can't wait to read more about Tiffany, a heroine so wonderful all other YA novels should learn from her.
7,5/10 - almost 8/10
