I remember my grandmother buying me a used copy of this book for a quarter when I was a little girl. A charming, timeless classic.

I like this book because it was a little adventure for the tiny people to explore through the home. I got to know what they would feel like when they were exploring. The lesson in this book is to not judge people before you get to know them.

In the story, The Borrowers, there are three tiny people called the borrowers. The reason they are called borrowers - Pod (dad), Homily Clock (mom) and Arrietty (daughter) is that in their tiny home under the humuns house they have matchboxes like dressers and stamps like painting hang on the wall, so whatever they have its all borrowed from the humun beings. There's a human boy above, and Arrietty wants a friend. I guess you will have to read the book to find out what happens to the borrowers. I personally recommend this book to all ages because magic can be for anyone and the book convinces the reader that the borrowers really do exist! I absoulutely loved this book, it is one of my favourite!

My 10 year old really loved this book. She also likes the Cup Cake series, but this is such a better quality reading experience and she couldn't put it down. We recommend it.

Below the floorboards of an old English house lives a tiny family of scavengers named the Clocks. Everything in the Clocks' house, from the postage stamp paintings to cork-made chairs, has been "borrowed" from the family that lives above them. This is how the Clock family come to be called the "borrowers," and it is not until a little boy catches sight of one of the Clock children in the house, that their lives are thrown into a tizzy!

There's a movie for this book called "The Secret World of Arietty." I've watched it, and am waiting for the book to come from the library. From my experience, I'm guessing the book will be much better than the movie.

In this book there are three tiny people that live under the ground of a family who are human beings. They are called the "borrowers" because everything that they own are borrowed from the human beings above. The borrowers names are Pod(dad), Homily Cloak(mom) and their only daughter Arrietty. There is a human boy up there and Arietty is urgently searching for a friend. Arrietty gets seen by the humans and that's how the adventure begins.

I really like this book!!
