Borrowers Afloat

Pod, Homily, and Arrietty–the miniature Borrowers–depend for their livelihood on the “human beings” whose cottage they live in. So when they discover that their humans are moving away, the Borrowers are forced to find a new home and new family to borrow from. With the help of the wild Borrower boy Spiller, they make a harrowing journey down the cottage drain in a soap dish and are soon living in a teakettle by a river. But the poor Borrowers barely have time enough to catch their breath before flood or famine or their old enemy Mild Eye sends them looking for a home once again.
