Story
A storm. Rain-lashed city streets. A flash of lightning. A scruffy lad sees a girl leap desperately from a horse-drawn carriage in a vain attempt to escape her captors. Can the lad stand by and let her be caught again? Of course not, because he's...Dodger. Seventeen-year-old Dodger may be a street urchin, but he gleans a living from London's sewers, and he knows a jewel when he sees one. He's not about to let anything happen to the unknown girl - not even if her fate impacts the most powerful people in England.

It's a story that will come to a terrible end if someone doesn't do something about it.

Roundworld is in trouble again, and this time it looks fatal. Having created it in the first place, the wizards of Unseen University feel vaguely responsible for its safety. They know the creatures that lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator - they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. But now it's all gone wrong - Victorian England has stagnated, and the pace of progress would embarrass a limping snail.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but that looks completely different. It plays by different rules. Certainly it refuses to succumb to the quaint notion that universes are ruled by pure logic and the harmony of numbers. But just because the Disc is different doesn't mean that some things don't stay the same.

This where it took Doggins on his 'Awfully Big Adventure': a quest full of magic and flying machines. (And the world’s best joke - trust me, it’s hilarious.) It took three young inventors to the moon (where they may or may not have left a bottle of lemonade) and a caveman on a trip to the dentist. You can join them on these adventures, and many more, in this incredible collection of stories....

Tinker's Cottage nestles in a forgotten corner of deepest Somerset. It also happens to sit on a weak point in the space time continuum...which is somewhat unfortunate for Ian Faulkener, a graphic novelist from London, who was hoping for some peace and quiet in which to recuperate following a very messy breakdown. It was the cats that first alerted Ian to the fact that something was not quite right with Tinker's Cottage...the cats and, of course, the Pope, disappearing literary agents, mislaid handymen and the insanity of Cherie Blair World.

Great fun w/an edge - classic Pratchett
As a long-time Discworld fan, I hesitated for years over whether to try Pratchett's "younger" books. I shouldn't have! They're just as funny, perhaps a slightly lighter and certainly a quicker read, but well worth the time and credits. (If reading to or with kids I can imagine kids and adults both getting a great laugh out of them, just probably preferring slightly different jokes!) Since TP is apparently unable to write anything without a philosophical/satirical edge, the trilogy touches on religion, the psychology of leadership and group behavior, xenophobia, consumerism and more.
Unlike another reviewer, I think Briggs did a brilliant job reading this, with funny and appropriate voices. I especially enjoyed the way he intoned the selections from The Book of Nome at the start of each chapter.

Absolutely delightful
My first foray into the famous and popular Terry Pratchett's work. This wonderful story of gnomes living in a dying department store on Earth, not knowing their universe was once MUCH larger than that, is chock full of chuckle and guffaw moments, and a wonderfully crafted story. I'll be going back for the next books in this trilogy for sure.

One of the finest children's trilogies
The bromiliad trilogy Is probably my favorite work of Terry Pratchetts. Even of all his discord books I believe this trilogy is probably the best of his children's works. I hope that every child you care about gets a copy of this trilogy it is one of the most educational and entertaining series I have ever read.

Would you consider the audio edition of Truckers to be better than the print version?
We have a rule in our house: Read it first the, if you like the story, get it on audio book. There is something about someone else reading the book that makes you notice things you missed when you read the book.

Ok, but not brilliant
This series is nice, but it is not compelling. While I normally admire Stephen Briggs' performances in the other Discworld books, in this series, he does not vary his voice and so I keep hearing the voice of Granny Weatherwax from the lips of a different character.

Great Pratchett as always!
I Listened to this book while on a trip with my 8 year old son. We both greatly enjoyed it. I have introduced him to some of the Diskworld pantheon but a lot of the content goes over his head. The books in this series are short enough to keep his attention and have really helped increase his vocabulary. I have been reading and listening to Terry Pratchett books since I was a teenager and have always loved his books. I didn't buy this series until now because they were so short, but I am glad that I did because they were a great listen on our trip, and we almost finished all three books!

The trilogy of the bromeliad is just fun to read. But this first book is my favorite. It brings a smile on my face listening to this book, and often a laugh out loud. The narration is really good, and adds an extra to the book.

Made me smile from start to finish
Would you consider the audio edition of Truckers to be better than the print version?
When I was 10 my Mum started reading me this book and I’m not sure it would be too dramatic to say it changed my life. As someone who loved stories but really struggled to read these stories captured my imagination and my sense of humour enough to force me into reading. Now 16 years on, I downloaded them and was pleasantly surprised to find that I still loved them. Compelling and exciting, insightful and witty this is everything you could want from a book aimed at children, but whose appeal continues into adulthood. I can't imagine how anyone would dislike it!

The truckers ----Terry Prachett
I first heard this book, 10 years ago. When I belonged to books for the blind. I am dyslexic, not blind.
I realy enjoyed the book then as I am doing now. The reason it took me 10 years to find, I forgot to write down the title.------ Personaly I love this book and I am looking forward to the next two in the trilogy. I didn't realise it was a trilogy. Last time i had it it must have been an abriged version.Any way its a most excelant book. humorous,

Always loved this book - in both versions
Would you listen to Truckers again? Why?
Yes. I love the characters. They don't have to be human to feel empathy with them. The frustration with other beings of the same race that comes through the nomes thoughts and comments is clearly not species constrained in Pratchett's world. Very well read by Stephen Briggs as well. Difficult that with a book that people either love or loathe and have probably read themselves more than once
Have you listened to any of Stephen Briggs’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes - Superb as ever
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did :) I don't usually buy shorter listen audio books but knowing this story, I decided I'd spend a credit on it anyway. Now I don't have enough listens for the month :D
Any additional comments?
It would be fairer if the three books in this trilogy were banded together as one audiobook given the length. It is annoying to have to spend 3 credits on such short books and they're far too expensive to purchase outside the credits system

A good listen but so short.
Would you consider the audio edition of Truckers to be better than the print version?
I prefer audiobooks generally to print. I find them much easier to follow and I can carry on with my daily chores, travel etc while reading.
What does Stephen Briggs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Stephen reads a lot of Pratchetts books and brings the characters alive.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Two clans discover the world is far bigger then they ever imagined.
Any additional comments?
This series of books is very enjoyable. Pratchett addresses adult concepts with his usual tact and comedic approach making arguments for both sides and allowing the reader to come to their own decisions. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am aware it is aimed at children but would have liked it to be a little longer. You can't have everything!

Downloaded to listen during long journey to France for summer holiday - family of 4, 2 adults & 2 12-year-old boys. Initially we all thought it was a bit odd and it took a while to "get into" the story, but then we all thoroughly enjoyed it and will get more Nomes books in the future.

Excellent performance, excellent book
Would you listen to Truckers again? Why?
The story is excellent, as always for Pratchett, but the performance meets his standard and delivers a fun and animated rendition of the story.
What other book might you compare Truckers to, and why?
I am really unsure how to answer that question. It's an adventure story, so like lots of kids books. It features little people living out of sight in the human world, so maybe the Borrowers, except really not. It's Pratchett, so the style you see in his other works comes through as well.
What about Stephen Briggs’s performance did you like?
Excellent, consistent and clear character voicing. Animated delivery, full of character and interest.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh. A lot.

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.

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

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

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.
