«The Borrowers» is Mary Norton's graded reader for 7th grade students, published by Burlington Books in paperback (51 pages, in English).
Pod, Homily and their daughter Arrietty are the Borrowers, tiny people barely 20 cm tall who live under the floor of a big house and «borrow» what they need from humans. Their home is hidden under a grandfather clock, which is why they are known as the Clock family. Young Arrietty is bored in her hiding place and dreams of going out into the garden and playing with other children, but when a human boy comes to live upstairs, the encounter between a borrower and a person proves very dangerous, though it also opens the door to an impossible friendship.
Graded reader from the Burlington Activity Readers series, 7th grade level, with activity pages, cross-curricular approach and supplementary web material.
Aimed at middle school students learning English as a foreign language, especially those in 7th grade or equivalent.
