Diggers, The second book of The Nomes by Terry Pratchett.
"I said don't press it! Did i say press it? I said don't press it!!"
After the epic journey in Truckers, The Nomes have settled in a quarry and a Bright New Dawn is coming for them all, or is it?
Maskilin has gone on a journey to find Grandson 39 and hasn't come back...
Nisodemus the mad Nome is inciting riots, trying to grab power and throwing doubt...
Dorcas has found a strange monster call Jekub buried in the hill....
The weather is growing cold, puddles are going solid and frozen bits of sky are falling from above.
The Store Nomes are confused and unsure of their new environment.
And the humans are returning...
Can Grimma fight them off?, will Maskilin return alive?
Again this is a good solid story, with nice 3D characters and backgrounds, a very good story for younger readers. I feel a bit sorry for the humans in Diggers, I'm glad I'm not one.
