Wings
'It wasn't a thing, it was a bit of shaped sky...'
Somewhere in a place that is so far up there is no down, a ship is waiting to
take the nomes home - back to wherever they came from. And one nome,
Masklin, knows that they've got to try and contact this ship.
It
means going to Florida (wherever that is), then getting to the launch of a communications satellite (whatever that is). A ridiculous plan.
Impossible. But Masklin doesn't know this, so he tries to do it anyway.
And the first step is to try and hitch a ride on a new kind of truck, a
truck with wings - Concorde.
The hilarious and imaginative sequel to Truckers and Diggers.

Terry Pratchett
Terry Pratchett’s work was nothing short of magical, blending satire, wit, and a deep love for the absurd with stories that could make you laugh, think, and occasionally question reality. Born in 1948 in Beaconsfield, England, Pratchett's sharp humor and keen observations of human nature started early. After a series of journalistic jobs and a stint in publishing, he found his true calling as a writer of fantasy—albeit with a twist.
Pratchett’s most famous creation, the Discworld series, is a sprawling, multi-layered universe filled with quirky characters, sharp satire, and an unrelenting exploration of the complexities of society. The series—spanning over 40 novels—introduces readers to a world supported by four giant elephants standing on the back of Great A’Tuin, the giant turtle swimming through space. It’s a place where witches, wizards, and talking cats wander through settings that are both fantastical and familiar, a perfect mirror to our own world, full of politics, absurdity, and endless curiosity.
