Description: Beneath the floorboards of a quiet old English country house lives the Clock family, a family of tiny people called Borrowers who survive by “borrowing” small objects from the human “beans” living above them. Pod, the father, is a skilled borrower, while his wife Homily keeps their little home and their daughter Arrietty longs for a life beyond the walls.
When Arrietty is old enough, Pod takes her borrowing, and she breaks the family’s most important rule by making friends with a human boy who is staying in the house. What begins as a friendship soon puts the whole family in danger, as discovery by the humans threatens their hidden world and forces them to make a daring escape.
