Book Reviews of The Borrowers
Book Review: The Borrowers
Summary: 4 Stars
The book I chose to read is called The Borrowers, written by Mary Norton. I would have to say that the main conflict or theme to this story is about a girl named Arrintrey. She starts on a jouney to find or get in touch with members of her family who live far away with the help of a special boy. Throughout this journey they help one another and become good friends who rely on each other very much.
This book was exciting to read because this was a story about little people. When I mean little, I mean about the size of a mouse, maybe even smaller. Distances for a regular person were about a thousand times farther for the borrowers. I also like this book because it reminded me of another story I read. They are similar because both main characters are on a journey to find their family.
I like the way the author wrote because she wrote in a way that was interesting to me. She made the story sound like the characters were right there talking to you. An example of this would be when the boy in this story said to Arrintrey that he would bring her letter to her family, Arrintrey shouted "Would you really do that for me?".
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this book about an 8. I think this book was better than other books I have read because it kept my interest throughout the whole book. If you like adventure and things not always normal, you will love this book.
The Borrowers is a good book to read. Sometimes it can really make you think about what is going on in the story many times it made the book more exciting. I don't want to give the whole thing away but, this one time Arrintrey had to go borrowing for the first time with her dad. She ended up talking with a boy the whole time. So as I was saying the borrowers is a good book to read for a book report or just for all around reading. Read this book and find out what your favorite part is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Summary: 5 Stars
Whoosh! You see a hat pin sail across the room, much like a javelin, and pin onto the lace curtain. Then, a small man no more than six inches tall scurries across the room.
Welcome to the world of the Borrowers; Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock. They live under the floorboards and borrow anything from potatoes to blotting paper. The tiny people live in an old country house, inhabited by `human beans'.
All goes well for the small family until Arrietty is `seen' by a boy. The Borrowers think that `human beans' are always vicious and bad, but this boy turns out to be friendly.
The boy befriends the Clocks and even helps them borrow.
Then, Pod makes the mistake of borrowing precious knick-knacks from the mistress.
Mrs. Driver, the housekeeper, is getting suspicious. Who could be stealing these things?
She sprouts a plan to trap the thieves.
Will the Clocks be caught? Will they have to emigrate?
I thought this book was funny. The Borrowers have limited knowledge on the outside world making the way they act and think seem silly. The book is entertaining, and it is not action packed all the way. It gives you time to think about what you just read, and doesn't zoom through everything. This book is good for all ages. Mary Norton did a great job writing this book.
