About this listen
To the thousands of tiny nomes who live under the floorboards of a large department store, there is no outside. Things like day and night, sun and rain are just daft old legends.
Then a devastating piece of news shatters their existence: the Store, their whole world, is to be demolished. It's up to Masklin, one of the last nomes to come into the Store, to mastermind an unbelievable escape plan that will take all the nomes into the dangers of the great Outside.
This is the first book in the Bromeliad Trilogy.

Brilliant!
One of the best stories for people of all ages, full of humour and philosophy, excitement and courage. Stephen Briggs narrates beautifully, with a rich variety of perfectly attuned characters. Of course Terry Pritchett is the master of plot and language, as always. The trilogy that this book begins would make a good starting point for all of Sir Terry’s work or as a starting point to all the world’s literature.

Well performed
Great story, slightly off beat humour for kids and adults alike. Enjoy listening in the car with the children.

A story for all ages
Accessible to both children and adults and read beautifully by Stephen Briggs, this story kept me captivated. The deeper and darker points about human nature that Terry Pratchett makes in his later Discworld novels are only lightly touched on here; enough to make the novice Pratchett listener start thinking and noticing these truths in the world around themselves. The story ends on a note that makes me want to know what happens next.

An exciting adventure for the young and equally young at heart.
I loved the descriptive way Mr Pratchett tells a story. I found myself totally caught up in the story. When one accepts the book was written for the young I found myself waiting for the annoying interruptions to disappear so that I could pick up where I left off.
At seventy eight years young I just loved the book and indeed I will be purchasing all three of the series.

a parable
Packed with insight on human life, wrapped in delightful wit, delivered with wonderful whacky narration.
