Ringkasan plot
Tiffany Aching is a 9 year old girl who literally sees things differently from the others. While playing near a stream near his home, he saw two small blue-skinned men who warned him about the "green shark" in the water. Suddenly a vicious green monsters, Jenny Greenteeth, appeared in the water. Using his brother Wentworth as bait for it, Tiffany ambushed the beast and broke it with a frying pan, while Wentworth was completely unaffected, because he could not see the little man or the monster. He went to town to visit a traveling teacher and went to Miss Tick, a magician who had noticed him. Tiffany was told that these little guys were Nac Mac Feegles, the rough and rowdy people who spoke in the Glaswegian accent. Miss Tick told her that she was probably a witch in her, and gave her a toad she knew as a guide before taking Tiffany out of the tent and disappearing.
Tiffany returns home to find that Nac Mac Feegles is not only very fast and powerful, but is afraid of her, as she catches them stealing eggs from under chickens and sheep directly from the fields. When Wentworth was kidnapped by the Queen of the Fairies, Tiffany sought help from Nac Mac Feegles to rescue her, for they were the most powerful worldly things she knew and they were more than willing to submit to her wishes, frightened by a man who was not just a magician but people who can read and write. Rob Anybody, and a bunch of other Feegles including Big Yan and Daft Wullie took him back to their home where he met Hamish hamburgers, bard-Feegle William, and their clan leader, Kelda. Tiffany was told that her sister had been brought by the Queen to her territory in Fairyland, and not only had to take Feegles to save her, but she also had to take control as Kelda, because this time it will die soon. After wiping her out of Rob Anybody's marriage, Tiffany came out of the mound to the field where Feegles tested the First Vision and Second Mind by letting her find the entrance to the queen's domain.
Once inside, Tiffany and Feegles encounter some of the great wolves that Feegles easily criticizes, and some people who cause lumps of dreams are called dromes. Through intentional dreams, he finds Roland, the son of Baron from his native land. Tiffany and Roland pass through some normal dreams and dreams to finally find a dream with Wentworth and the Queen in it. Tiffany almost escapes defeat at the hands of the Queen's dreams by having Roland release Feegles from their traps in the big walnut, and they escape from the dream into one of Tiffany's imaginations. Once in the dream, Feegles and Wentworth are thought to have died in the hands of the Queen's deceit, and Tiffany escapes with Roland's unconscious body out back to the dreamscape, heading for the exit, full of regret that she can not save her friends. The Queen mocks her inability to save them and her discomfort, but Tiffany reconnects with her homeland heritage to gain the power to defeat the Queen in her own dream in a dream in the darkest moment. The Feegles whom he later meets back to reveal that the trap set by the Queen is not enough to stop Feegles, and that they and Wentworth are both fine. Tiffany, Roland, Wentworth, and Feegles all return to their homeland, where the Baron mistakenly gives his son all the credit to save them, which Tiffany ends up fine with.
Another major influence on the story narrative and the development of Tiffany's character is Granny Aching, a hard-working, silent, and knowledgeable shepherd. He is the definition of a book about a wizard. Stories and memories of him are mentioned here and there in the book, and his memory helps Tiffany defeat the Queen at the end.
