Book by Pratchett Terry

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Somewhere out there, the ship is waiting to take them home . . .

Here's what Masklin has to do: Find Grandson Richard Arnold (a human!). Get from England to Florida (possibly steal jet plane for this purpose, as that can't be harder than stealing the truck). Find a way to the "launch" of a "communications satellite" (whatever those are). Then get the Thing into the sky so that it can call the Ship to take the nomes back to where they came from.

It's an impossible plan. But he doesn't know that, so he tries to do it anyway. Because everyone back at the quarry is depending on him -- and because the future of nomekind may be at stake . . .

Revue de presse :

“Fascinating and funny.” (The Horn Book)

“Witty, funny, wise and altogether delightful.” (Locus)

“A delicious, rewarding, wry and antic fable.” —Harlan Ellison “A rollicking good story.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Terry Pratchett has created a wild adventure, a fable, a fantasy, an elegant satire.” – Lloyd Alexander (Lloyd Alexander)

“Pratchett gives his cast plenty of personality and fuels the plot with nonstop comedy.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“A wry tongue-in-cheek fantasy...which unhesitatingly lampoons the ingrained habits and complacent attitudes found in any society.” (ALA Booklist)
