Secrets of the Wee Free Men and Discworld
by Linda Washington and Carrie Pyykkonen
Before J. K. Rowling became the best selling author in Britain, Terry Pratchett wore that hat. With over 40 million books sold, Pratchett is an international phenomenon.

"The Wee Free Men", one of Pratchett's most popular novels, will be made into a movie by "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi. It's the story of 9-year-old wannabe witch Tiffany Aching who unites with the Wee F...

Then a few other kids found out about the account. Pretty soon, everyone knew. No one in the small town of Albany, California, was safe from the repercussions of the account’s discovery. Not the girls targeted by the posts. Not the boy who created the account. Not the group of kids who followed it. Not the ad...
