Bookroo's summary

In a world where tiny people live hidden among us, the Clock family is kidnapped and trapped in an attic. As they navigate their new prison, will they find a way to escape and return to their hidden life? Discover the thrilling adventures of Pod, Homily, and Arrietty as they confront dangers and uncover secrets in their quest for freedom.

From the publisher

Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock’s huge adventures have been thrilling children young and old for fifty years–and their appeal is as strong as ever in these handsome new paperback packages. While the original beloved interior illustrations by Beth and Joe Krush have been retained, Marla Frazee’s striking cover illustrations capture these little people with a larger-than-life appeal.
