acariad 's review for:
The Wee Free Men
by Terry Pratchett
This is the 18th Discworld novel I have read to date, and I'm always blown away by how funny, well written and wonderful these stories are. Not only that, I'm always on the lookout for stories with protagonists who are capable, relatable, and female. I think it always disappoints me how few novels aimed at children have female protagonists that really resonates with me. And after reading this book, Tiffany Aching has certainly joined the ranks of some of my favourite child protagonists of all time.
The only trouble I had with the book was the Nac Mac Feegle's speech. I'm not very good at deciphering Scottish written down apparently. Even though this novel is aimed at a younger audience, I never felt like it was talking down at me at any point. It manages to balance the humour and serious moment so well, and I can't recommend this book enough for any young readers looking to dive into the amazing world of Discworld.
