The Bromeliad Trilogy
The Bromeliad Trilogy: Truckers, Diggers, and Wings | Terry Pratchett
5 posts | 12 read | 1 to read
In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember -- or even believe in -- life beyond the Store walls. Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed. Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think -- and to think BIG. Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchetts engaging trilogy traces the nomes flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams.

🤣🤣🤣. How I feel when my electrical engineer husband starts talking about work. I call him my electron expert.

Very silly finish to this trilogy. Not my favorite of his, but definitely filled with his classic sense of humor.

Such fun. Terry Pratchett‘s signature sense of humor is worn through this adorable tale. It was written for children, but there is plenty of fun for older nomes too. 😃

“The way to deal with an impossible task was to chop it down into a number of merely very difficult tasks, and break each one of *them* into a group of horribly hard tasks, and each one of *them* into tricky jobs, and each one of *them*...”

I‘ve only read the introduction and already I‘m wondering why on earth I didn‘t pull this one off the shelf ages ago, like, immediately upon finishing the Discword series. I‘ve miss Terry Pratchett‘s voice. Just the introduction felt like a homecoming. ❤️❤️❤️
