SuitabookThe Wee Free Men
Terry Pratchett, Paul Kidby
- Reading
- Try reading a little together at first, then check whether the comic fantasy and the missing-brother suspense feel engaging or unsettling. Revisit Granny’s death if it prompts questions about loss.
- Themes
- Tiffany and witchcraft: Tiffany wonders whether her late grandmother was a witch and must work things out when strange events begin. The story connects Tiffany’s questions about witchcraft with her grandmother’s memory.
- An unlikely alliance and rescue: Tiffany teams up with the Wee Free Men to rescue her missing younger brother from the Queen of the Fairies. The rescue premise gives the story a clear family stake and puts cooperation between Tiffany and the Feegles at its centre.
- Worth knowing
- Granny Aching has died before the events described, and Tiffany’s young brother goes missing.
