"This is the third book in the Borrowers series. The book continues right where the second left off. Such a great series so far. I cannot wait to read the last two in the series. If you've never gotten to read these, you're missing out. Give them a read!"

    " Like the water that they travel upon, this meanders a lot without getting anywhere quickly. It is a much weaker entry than the previous two stories. "
