🌿 A tiny girl with a big secret…

Arrietty is a little "borrower" — a tiny person who secretly lives under the floorboards with her parents. They survive by quietly "borrowing" everyday items from the humans above, with one unbreakable rule: never be seen.

But one day, a boy named Sho spots her... and everything begins to change.

📚 Book Features:

• Full-colour illustrations
• Traditional Chinese text with Zhuyin phonetics
• A gentle, fantasy adventure based on the classic British novel The Borrowers by Mary Norton
