I think this book was really interesting. It had lots of challenging words though!

This book is about little people who live under the floorboards. They call themselves "borrowers" because they take things from the house above to use in their house. The family of borrowers this book is about is the last one in the whole house. One day, when Arriety ventures out into the big house alone, she gets caught. The rest of the book is about the adventures she and her families have. I had to read this book for school, and I was surprised by how good it was.

I would love to get a chance to share about this book. The movie was funny and outstanding with jokes for all audiences. The author I am unfamiliar with, but I have heard good things.

This book is about the little people who live under the floor boards of a house. They "borrow" the things they need to survive such as buttons, needles, sugar cubes, and matchboxes. While the daughter, Arrietty, becomes friends with the human boy who lives in the house and she knows she's not supposed to... Read the book to find out what happens next!
