      About This Book

      The older Borrowers stare at Arrietty in horror. She has been talking with the boy Tom again, and now she tells them the humans are leaving the house for good.

      "We're done for," groans Pod.

      "No more food, no clothes, no heat, no water," mourns his wife.

      The Borrowers must leave. But where will they go? And can they survive the dangerous trip downstream—in an old tea kettle?

      More fascinating adventures of The Borrowers—those tiny people who share old houses with humans.
