The Borrowers-By Mary Norton

The Borrowers, by Mary Norton, 200 pages.

 The main character in the book "The Borrowers" is Arrietty Clock, who is a fourteen year old girl. Although the story is all about the Clocks, Homily, Pod, and Arrietty, she is the one on whom this story is focused on. Arrietty is a very pretty girl. She has long, curly, chestnut-brown hair. Arrietty loves adventures, and she is very eager to start burrowing. Her mother, Homily is, unfortunately, against Arrietty going out to "Their" world, and getting "seen" by human beings. (As explained in my previous blogpost, Borrowers CANNOT be seen by human beings, for that is a very bad thing to happen.) Arrietty is a very brave girl as when all other girls are cautious and keep law profile, she cannot help being adventurous!  She is actually silly! For example, when she gets "seen" by the boy, one of "them", instead of being scared and careful not to be"seen" again, she befriends the boy.
