The Wee Free Men

We were asked to come up with a jacket blurb for our favorite book. It was hard for me, because I came up with something really good, but then realized that what I had was almost word-for-word what was actually on the back of the book. So I had to start over.

"When they were kicked out of Fairyland for drunkenness, rebelliousness, and causing general discontent, the Nac Mac Feegle – the Wee Free Men – found themselves in heaven. A beautiful land with things to fight, steal, and cause mischief in.
To them, its heaven. To Tiffany Aching and the rest of the world, it’s The Chalk, the uplands where sheep graze and the weather and hills used to belong to Granny Aching. But Granny is gone now, and the hills are unprotected. When something slips through a crack in the world and steals Tiffany’s little brother, she knows she cannot simply lie down and take that. Armed with a frying pan and an army of angry blue men, Tiffany makes her way to Fairyland to get her brother back. But it’s not sunshine and happiness there, and getting out again may be harder than she thinks."
