First of all if you like mouse books such as Poppy, you will almost definitely love this book. It's about a mouse widow that has four children. The family lives in a cinder block that is buried in the ground. The cinder block is in a garden located in the middle of a farm. Unfortunately, Mr. Fitzzgibon the farmer plows through the garden every year. That means that Mrs. Frisby has to move out of her two room cinder block and needs to move to a safer area. However her son Timothy is sick with pneumonia and can't move through the winter cold. But then she soon meets to the rats from NIMH, a breed of super intelligent rats who believe that they can help solve her problem.
The book has an outstanding plot! There is one part about a rat telling Mrs. Frisby where he and his friends came from. That completely sucks you in the minute you start to read it and the way it can make you visualize it is like watching a movie! It's an absolute 10 on a 1-10 scale. I'm not quit sure if it has a sequel, but it's a really great book. Hope you try it!
I agree that this book is a ten. Max, can you find our copy in the Quincle and but it on the "favorites" display? Gracias!
ReplyDeleteMax, I'd probably agree with Maggie. I started the Rats of Nimh, but I coudn't understand it. (But when I started it, I was about 6, I think).
ReplyDeleteI'd say that the beggining of this book is definately less interesting than other parts, but it starts to get very very interesting once Mrs. Frisbey meets the rats.
