Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett<br />
YA SF PRAT<br />
When monsters invade her world from Fairyland and her brother disappears, Tiffany goes off to find him. She'll have to fight against flying fairies, dream-spinning dromes, grimhounds and dreams that trap the dreamer. But, luckily, Tiffany is not alone. She's surrounded by pictsies, little blue men who speak with such a strong accent that sometimes Tiffany can't even understand them, although they make it clear that they're famous for "stealin' and drinkin' and fightin'!" It's pretty impressive that Tiffany can organize and lead them at all, much less that she tries to overcome the powerful Elf Queen armed only with an iron frying pan.<br />

Their friendship is under enough strain with Shohei's indifference, but throw in the fact that Honoria is interested in Shohei, and Elias is interested in Honoria, and the whole thing is one big mess.<br />
