They've moved into a house in a miniature village built as a hobby by a retired railroad man. The village is the perfect size for Borrowers, and after the hardships they've faced, the Clocks gratefully settle into the luxury of having a "proper" house. The easy life makes them careless. Or rather, it makes Arrietty careless. She befriends a "human bean," and the next thing Arrietty knows, she and her family have been kidnapped. Their captors are a greedy married couple, calles the Platters, who have big plans for the little people. They have created their own miniature village in a glass case and a plan to imprison the Borrowers within - like animals in a zoo - for the rest of their lives. 9780152047344 9780152047344 0152047344 0152047344 223 S.
