Truckers | Terry Pratchett
17 posts | 32 read | 12 to read
Reluctant to believe that there's a world outside the department store in which they live, Torrit, Dorcas, and the other gnomes look to Masklin, a newly arrived "outsider," to lead them to a safe haven when the store goes out of business. Suggested level: intermediate, secondary.

Truckers is no Discworld; it lacks the hilarity, but it charming, and kid friendly.

It is reminiscent of The Carpet People. In both, tiny people living near, but unseen by, humans, interact with the human world from an ants-eye view, with silly results. They also mimic human society, giving opportunity to comment on prejudices, ignorance, religion, leadership, and human failings, in a gentle and understanding way. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

A fun and light hearted story about the Nomes who live among us.😉😂

I enjoyed this quick read after some heavier books lately.

Moray_Reads I hadn't read this before. It was fun, with the trademark Pratchett humour. The "steering committee" had me laughing out loud 6y
julesG This book wasn't my cup of tea. It has the Pratchett humour, but I was longing for the Discworld. 6y
gossamerchild I cannot believe I haven't finished this yet! So far it's hilarious- I LOVE the old woman nome. Reminds me STRONGLY of The Carpet People. Still, not the Discworld 😂😂 6y
julesG @gossamerchild Yes, it reminded me a lot of Carpet People. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG Yes it reminded me of The Carpet People too, it‘s interesting to see how his idea and writing evolved from there. And no, it‘s not Discworld, but after a heavy month of news and reading some more serious non-fiction, I enjoyed this light fun story. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Moray_Reads Yes, I enjoyed some of the play on words, that was a great line! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @gossamerchild Yes, the female nomes are feisty, I like it 😂 6y
Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG @gossamerchild It reminded me of The Carpet People, too! I enjoyed it, but I agree, it is no Discworld. On the other hand, I have learned it is based on The Borrowers, which I have not heard of before, but I will have to check out. And while it us no Discworld, I enjoy these forays into kid‘s Pratchett. 6y
gossamerchild @Gezemice The Borrowers is a great series! I can't believe I didn't catch that. Thanks for that info 😁😁 6y
julesG @Gezemice Oh, I didn't know that! 6y
Iblu Finally catching up!!! The audiobooks def help in speeding up proceedings and I can safely listen to it with my bookish 8 yrs old currently exploring super classics like Around the world in 80 days 6y
julesG @Iblu Good to hear it! I like the audiobooks. The Discworld ones are also good. 6y

Can I go back to the Discworld?

I enjoyed this, but DW novels are better.

#OokBOokClub @TricksyTails

PickwickPlockPlock I read them, but in my opinion they are nowhere near as good as the discworld books that I can read over and over again. 6y

Walking the dog down a street I haven't been down in a while and spotted a tiny little library. And yes I browsed the selection. They've thoughfully left stickers to add to any book you donate.
