The Borrowers Afloat

Uprooted once again, the little people journey down a drain, live briefly in a teakettle, and are swept away in a flood. When their cottage refuge is shuttered, Pod, Homily, and Arrietty scramble down a washhouse pipe, ride a soapbox lid over soapy scum, and camp beside the stream. Their goal is Little Fordham, a model village where tiny folk might live unobserved. Spring rains soon sweep their kettle into midstream, leaving them stranded on a heap of driftwood. Trapped in deep water, the tiny family ducks a gypsy's hook, cuts away the sunken kettle, and scans the river for Spiller's knife-box boat. “As irresistible as its predecessors.”--Booklist Kids Adventure Books: Spiller navigates the dangerous river current in a salvaged knife box, punting with an amber knitting needle and steering with a tarnished Georgian butter knife. Survival Story: Mild Eye strings a clothesline between an overhanging hazel and an ash tree, hauling himself into deep water to grab the family before his tightrope gives way.
