Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for A.

Arrietty isn't your ordinary fourteen-year-old girl—she small enough to make her home under the floorboards of a typical house, “borrowing” what she and her family needs from the giants in whose shadows they live. A young boy named Sho befriends Arrietty, but when adults discover the Borrowers, Arrittey and Sho must work together to save her family. Based on the classic novel by Mary Norton, The Borrower Arrietty is a delight for all ages.

Review: The Secret World of Arrietty (Film Comic), Vol. 1 (The Secret World of Arrietty #1)

User Review  - Lauren - Goodreads

This is a gorgeous little book. I have the movie checked out right too, so I'll definitely have to watch it. I'm not a huge fan of how many sound effects they use throughout the pictures. I guess there's a point to it all; it just got a little annoying. Anyway, cute!

Review: The Secret World of Arrietty (Film Comic), Vol. 2 (The Secret World of Arrietty #2)

User Review - Goodreads

A very good adaption of The Borrowers by Mary Norton. Bittersweet, with great art and storytelling. Worth a read.
