The Nome Trilogy
''The Nome Trilogy'', also known in both the United Kingdom and the United States as ''The Bromeliad Trilogy'', is a trilogy of children's books by Terry Pratchett, consisting of the books Truckers (1989), Diggers (1990) and Wings (1990). The trilogy tells the story of the Nomes, a race of tiny people from another world who now live hidden among humans. Through the books they struggle to survive in the world and, once they learn of their history from an artifact known as "The Thing", make plans to return home.
''Diggers'' and ''Wings'' are to be read as contemporaneous sequels to ''Truckers'', as each book follows different characters through (mostly) concurrent events. The central character throughout ''Truckers'' and ''Wings'' is Masklin, while in ''Diggers'' it is mainly Grimma.
==Themes==
Pratchett covered the idea of small people in his first novel, ''The Carpet People'' (1971/1992), about a race of tiny people even smaller than Nomes. That book is unconnected to this series.
The main theme in the trilogy is the struggle of challenging society's accepted beliefs in the face of new information. This theme is recurring through the books and includes changes in the scientific establishment, political establishment, religious beliefs, accepted history and family values of the nomes.
