Adriana Serafin is headstrong, adventurous, and curious. Not exactly traits you want when you stand 5 inches tall. Adriana and her mother, Eminence, are the only Borrowers in the house they share. The effect of some family turbulence between the "beans" had left them with just one in the house. So after living like this for so long, how will they deal when a younger and equally curious, adventurous "bean" comes to the house? They must do anything to avoid being seen. Being seen brings nothing but trouble and loss. Or does it?
