Book Review Classic

Title: The Borrowers
Author: Mary Norton

Blurb: This book is about a family of tiny people who live beneath a house. The Mum called Homily and the Dad called Pod have a girl called Arrietty. Pod always goes into the human house and borrows food and materials for their home. No borrower has ever been seen by a human but one day Pod gets seen by a boy. He tells Arrietty and Homily and Pod takes Arrietty borrowing. Since Arrietty had never been outside before she was running around in the grass and lying in the sun. Suddenly she sees a pair of eyes staring at her. It was the boy, he had seen her. She jumped a little frightened but then she became friends with the boy. The boy digges a hole in the kitchen floor and it leads to their house. Every night at midnight he takes things from the dolls house and delivers them to the borrowers. One night Mrs Driver who lives in the house snuck downstairs at midnight and saw the borrower’s house. The three of them were sleeping and ran away to another room in their house. Mrs Driver destroyed their house and took out all the furniture. She saw the borrowers and called the police to come and get them.

Opinion: At first I thought this was a very good book but then it got a bit bad. Towards the end it gets really really good again. I thought it was a very interesting book.

 Recommendation: I recommend this book to girls or boys between the ages of 8-12.
