Editing Terry Pratchett (section)

=== Children's literature ===
Pratchett's first children's novel was also his first published novel: ''[[The Carpet People]]'' in 1971, which Pratchett substantially rewrote and re-released in 1992. The next, ''Truckers'' (1988), was the first in ''[[The Nome Trilogy]]'' of novels for young readers (also known as ''The Bromeliad Trilogy''), about small [[gnome]]-like creatures called "Nomes", and the trilogy continued in ''Diggers'' (1990) and ''Wings'' (1990). Subsequently, Pratchett wrote the ''[[Johnny Maxwell]]'' trilogy, about the adventures of a boy called Johnny Maxwell and his friends, comprising ''[[Only You Can Save Mankind]]'' (1992), ''[[Johnny and the Dead]]'' (1993) and ''[[Johnny and the Bomb]]'' (1996).
''[[Nation (novel)|Nation]]'' (2008) marked his return to the non-''Discworld'' children's novel, and this was followed in 2012 by ''[[Dodger (novel)|Dodger]]'', a children's novel set in Victorian London.<ref>{{cite book |title=Dodger: Amazon.co.uk: Terry Pratchett: Books |date=2 January 2011 |id={{ASIN|0385619278|country=uk}}}}</ref> On 21 November 2013 [[Doubleday (publisher)|Doubleday Children's]] released Pratchett's ''Jack Dodger's Guide to London''.<ref>{{cite web |date=28 June 2013 |title=Terry Pratchett – Jack Dodger's Guide to London cover art and synopsis reveal |url=http://upcoming4.me/news/book-news/terry-pratchett-jack-dodgers-guide-to-london-cover-art-and-synopsis-reveal |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130702191408/http://upcoming4.me/news/book-news/terry-pratchett-jack-dodgers-guide-to-london-cover-art-and-synopsis-reveal |archive-date=2 July 2013 |access-date=28 June 2013 |publisher=Upcoming4.me}}</ref>
