The Little Free Men (Vol. 1 Tiffany Sorrow)

"A hidden danger, straight out of nightmares, is threatening the other side of reality..." But, armed with her frying pan and a lot of cunning, Tiffany Aching is prepared to face monsters and fantastical threats to protect her family. First book in the Tiffany Aching series

The Dolorida family farm is in serious trouble: monsters in the river, headless horsemen on the road, and the youngest son being stolen by the Fairy Queen.

Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, little witch-to-be Tiffany Dolorda must defend her home—the warm, verdant lands of the Chalk—from the monsters she encounters along the way. Fortunately, she'll have some unexpected help: the Nac Mac Feegle, also known as the Little Free Men, a clan of little blue men, ferocious sheep thieves who measure about six inches tall.

Together, they must traverse a sinister and shifting landscape, facing brutal fairies, headless horsemen, supernatural dogs, terrifying dreams that become reality, and finally, the Fairy Queen herself, absolute monarch of a world where reality and nightmare intertwine...

To bring her little brother back, Tiffany Aching will need all her strength and determination (and an unusual weapon), as well as welcome help from unexpected friends.
