Description
Based on the beloved classic The Borrowers by Mary Norton. The picture book based on the movie!
The Secret World of Arrietty follows the story of Arrietty, a fourteen-year-old girl who isn't your ordinary teenager—she's small enough to make her home under the floorboards of a typical house. Arrietty and her family "borrow" what they need from the giants in whose shadows they live.
A young boy named Shawn befriends Arrietty, but when adults discover the Borrowers, Arrietty and Shawn must work together to save her family.
Based on the classic novel series The Borrowers by Mary Norton, The Secret World of Arrietty is a delight for all ages. Arrietty longs for adventures, but the world can be a dangerous place for one so small. She and her family live hidden beneath the floorboards, borrowing what they need from the humans living above.
When Arrietty is discovered by Shawn, her world is no longer secret and her family is at risk. If Arrietty can trust Shawn to protect her, she might discover a friendship she never imagined possible.
