While Grimma and the rest of the nomes are trying to make the best of it in the quarry, Masklin, Angalo, and Gruder head to Florida with the Thing to try and get their spaceship back.

This was definitely the best of the three. Diggers suffers from middle book syndrome for sure. It was kind of slow and laggy. This was much more exciting. None of these were anywhere near as good as the Discworld stuff, but I did enjoy them a lot. ( )

I enjoyed this installment in The Bromeliad Trilogy as much as I did the other two, though I have to say nothing beats the first book! Still, it was another fun and exciting ride with the fascinating Nomes. I was a bit sad to see the book end though; I crave to read about more Nomish adventures! ( )

Diggers and Wings are the remaining parts of the Bromeliad Trilogy that I first started reviewing here. MAsklin and the Store gnomes have made their way to the safety of the Quarry. The Store gnomes are getting used to sky and growing their own food. Masklin is struggling to organize leadership for such a large group. Always in Masklin's mind is what the Thing has told him of where gnomes came from and the ship that is waiting for them. In Wings, a scouting party to the nearby airport provides opportunity to travel to the US where they search for a shuttle to their ship.

These are not just fluffy punny stories. The debate about The Founder is similar to others I've heard about theism and atheism.

There was a polite beeping from the Thing.

'You may be interested to know,' it said, 'that we've just broken the sound barrier!

Masklin turned wearily to the others.

'All right, own up,' he said. 'Who broke it?'

'Don't look at me,' said Angalo. 'I didn't touch anything...
