The Borrowers
Deep below the floorboards lives the petite Borrower family - Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock. Everything they own is borrowed from the humans above them, even their names are not quite their own. There is just one rule: they must never be seen. Then one day Arrietty meets the boy, and the family's incredible adventure begins.
Why it's on the list
As exciting as it is alarming, the story of the family living beneath the floorboard is a fun bedtime read for children. These stories are classics; they are fantastic to read aloud and are a must-have for every child's bookshelf.
Read if you like
