Pratchett’s first book aimed at young adults in his Discworld series, The Wee Free Men 
is a witty, sardonic adventure. Tiffany Aching is a 9 year old girl of the Chalk country who with “First Sight and Second Thoughts” wants to be a witch. When her little brother, Wentworth, is taken by the Queen of the Elves, Tiffany will get the chance to prove she should be a witch in training. With the help of the Nac Mac Feegle (the Wee Free Men), tiny red haired fairies who like to drink, steal, and fight, Tiffany bravely ventures into the Queens’ land to find her brother and bring him home. The escapades of Tiffany and the Nac Mac Feegle keep the story moving at a quick pace and an entertaining flow and since it is the first book in a four book series you are guaranteed more adventure down the road.
