Terry Pratchett's novels have sold more than 27 million copies and have inspired a devoted worldwide following. In addition to his best-selling books about Discworld, Mr. Pratchett has written several books for young readers, including the Bromeliad Trilogy: Truckers, Diggers, and Wings, and the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy: Only You Can Save Mankind, Johnny and the Dead, and Johnny and the Bomb. In 2002 Mr. Pratchett was awarded Britain's highest honor for a children's novel, the Carnegie Medal, for the Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. Mr. Pratchett was born in the English chalk country, lives in the chalk country, and says it's amazing how much of this book he didn't have to invent.
