Wings

When you’re four inches high in a world full of giant people, things never go very well for long.

After running into trouble at the quarry, the nomes want to go home. The problem is, ‘home’ is somewhere up in the stars, in some sort of Ship.

Masklin must find a way to get to the ‘launch’ of a ‘communications satellite’ (whatever that is).

And so begins an incredible journey, filled with peril, planes, honking geese . . . and a walking sandwich.

The fantastically funny third book of the nomes, from the author of the bestselling Discworld series.

Reviews

A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero

—— David Walliams

Genius

—— Sun

This is a fast-paced and exciting adventure, featuring a Victorian-style otherworld, that will appeal to fans of the Harry Potter and Chrestomanci series . . . the book will appeal to both girls and boys. This is an extremely enjoyable read and a well-deserving addition to the magical fantasy genre

—— Andrea Rayner , booksforkeeps.co.uk

A wonderfully intriguing mystery . . . Uncommonly good!

Weird, whacky and utterly wonderful. Go to Lundinor. You won't ever want to come back

—— Joshua Khan, author of SHADOW MAGIC

An auspicious trilogy opener

—— Kirkus

Lots of fun, full of character, and great for the imagination

The Crooked Sixpence is a wonderful addition to our school library, and one that I can't wait to recommend
