katecassi 's review for:

The Borrowers by Mary Norton
4.75
adventurous lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

This book holds a very special place in my heart. When I was sick with pneumonia in third grade, my friend's mother gave this book to me as a gift. She had read it when she had pneumonia, and she gave it to me in the hopes that I'd enjoy it as she did. And I did. I love this book. I love how clever and fun it is. I love Arietty. She's one of my favorite types of protagonists.

I'm not close with that friend anymore, but the impact of the gift still stays with me.
