The Nome Trilogy

The Nome Trilogy, also known in both the UK and the US as The Bromeliad Trilogy, is a trilogy of children's books by Terry Pratchett, consisting of

  1. Truckers (1989)
  2. Diggers (1990)
  3. Wings (1990)

The trilogy tells the story of the Nomes, a race of tiny people from another world who now live hidden among humans. Through the books they struggle to survive in the world and, once they learn of their history from an artifact known as "The Thing", make plans to return home.

Diggers and Wings are to be read as contemporaneous sequels to Truckers, as each book follows different characters through (mostly) concurrent events. The central character throughout Truckers and Wings is Masklin, in Diggers it is mainly Grimma.
