Wings

In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember—or even believe in—life beyond the Store walls. Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed. Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think—and to think BIG. Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett's conclusion of the engaging Bromeliad trilogy traces the nomes' flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams. When your entire world is about to be demolished, how do you convince everyone to think bigger than they ever have before? Tiny People, Big World: Discover the hidden lives of the nomes, a civilization of four-inch-high people who have spent generations living under the floorboards of a massive department store. A Race Against Time: When they learn the Store will be destroyed in just twenty-one days, a young nome named Masklin must lead a daring escape into the sprawling, dangerous world of humans. Epic Quest Adventure: Follow the nomes on a journey beyond their wildest dreams, guided by a mysterious black box that holds the secret to their interstellar origins and their only hope for the future. Hilarious Hijinks: From stealing a ride on a Concorde jet to navigating the absurdities of human life, this classic fantasy is packed with the wit and wisdom that only Terry Pratchett can deliver.
