Kids looking for a classic fantasy adventure to read this summer will enjoy The Borrowers by Mary Norton. The first in a series, The Borrowers tells the story of tiny people living under the floorboards in an old house. One day they are discovered by a “real” boy who befriends them and gives them useful items – dollhouse furniture – in exchange for their daughter, Arrietty, reading to him. It is a story of friendship and family, risk and reward. The ending continues the adventure into the next book in the series, The Borrowers Afield.
