The Secret World Of Arrietty Under the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world, where the smallest may stand tallest of all. Arrietty, a tiny but tenacious 14yrold, lives with her parents in the recesses of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner and her housekeeper. Like all little people, Arrietty remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to “borrow” scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts. But when 12yrold Shawn, a human boy who comes to stay in the home, discovers his mysterious housemate one evening, a secret friendship blossoms. If discovered, their relationship could drive Arrietty’s family from the home and straight into danger. http://disney.go.com/arrietty/
