Bookroo's summary

The Borrowers, a family of tiny people, are uprooted once more. Their journey takes them down a drain, into a teakettle, and through a flood. Can they find a safe haven amidst chaos? As they navigate these challenges, their resilience is tested. Will they discover a new place to call home, or will the world prove too vast and unpredictable for their small stature? Adventure and uncertainty await in this captivating sequel.

From the publisher

Uprooted once again, the little people journey down a drain, live briefly in a teakettle, and are swept away in a flood. “As irresistible as its predecessors.”–Booklist
