The Wee Free Men
By Terry Pratchett
OMG, this book is awsome! I swear, Pratchett is amazing. His philosophy, character building, descriptions, dialog.... everything is just amazing! This is a great book for kids, especially girls. The main character, Tiffany Aching, is only nine but she's definitely a witch in the making. I can't wait to read the sequel.
To summarize: Tiffany's little brother is stolen by the Queen of the Elves and she decides to rescue him instead of waiting for Miss Tick, a visiting witch, to go for help. With the help of the Nac Mac Feegle (aka the Wee Free Men), who are sort of like drunken Scottish brownies, and Miss Tick's talking toad, she sets out to get back her brother. Awesome.
