The Wee Free Men
Young Tiffany Aching uses a frying pan, practical sense, and an alliance with the unruly Nac Mac Feegle to rescue her little brother from the Queen of Fairyland. Her chalk-country home and memories of her formidable grandmother give Tiffany strength that formal magic cannot replace. Becoming a witch begins with seeing what is actually there and accepting responsibility for it. Funny, fierce, and deeply rooted in place, this family fantasy is perfect for a breezy afternoon and readers who enjoy capable girls, tiny blue warriors, folklore, and courage grounded in care.
