The Borrowers Avenged is the final installment in Mary Norton's beloved Borrowers series, continuing the adventures of the tiny Clock family: Pod, Homily, and their spirited daughter, Arrietty. Following their escape from the clutches of the scheming Mr. and Mrs. Platter, the Borrowers undertake a perilous journey by boat to an old rectory, hoping to establish a new, safe home. This middle-grade fantasy, suitable for ages 10-14, explores themes of resilience, family bonds, and the courage to seek freedom. It also introduces new Borrower relatives and highlights Arrietty's growing independence, all while maintaining the classic charm and gentle suspense that has captivated readers for decades. Parents will appreciate its focus on resourcefulness and the enduring power of hope.
Escaping from an attic where they had been held captive over the long, dark winter, a family of tiny people sets up house in an old rectory. Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock's huge adventures have been thrilling children young and old for fifty years, and their appeal is as strong as ever. While the original beloved interior illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush have been retained, Marla Frazee's striking cover illustrations capture these little people with a larger-than-life appeal. - Publisher.
