emkoshka 's review for:

The Borrowers Avenged by Mary Norton
3.0

A curious conclusion to the series, published 21 years after what was intended to be the concluding book, The Borrowers Aloft. The Clock family finally find a permanent home, and the descriptions of their innovations are fascinating as always. We meet a new borrower, a possible love interest for Arrietty. The Hendrearies reappear. And the Mr and Mrs Platter thread which dangled at the end of The Borrowers Aloft is tied up eventually. Unfortunately I found this book a bit of a hard slog; I kept telling myself, 'Just read 10 pages today, 10 pages tomorrow'. Finally, finished!
