Wee Free Men – Free Read

For a limited time you can read Terry Pratchett's wonderful book Wee Free Men for free on the HarperTeen website. http://browseinside.harpercollinschildrens.com/index.aspx?isbn13=9780060...

You have to read it onsite as it’s not downloadable.

I'm a big fan of Terry's and will recommend just about any of his books, but I especially love this book, the first in a series. In a column I wrote in 2005 I have this to say about some of the characters, "Tiffany is again an excellent strong, fun, brave, clever role model for girls and the Mac Nac Feegle are terrific role models for 6 inch high thieving drunken fairy men who curse a lot." I would amend that now and say she's a great role model for anyone, not just girls. And if you're worried about your young adult being exposed to Mac Nac Feegle cursing, don’t. It's funny cursing, not offensive cursing, and of course you can always take a look at the book yourself before passing it along to your child(ren).
