Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

The book I was talking about in the last entry is called Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The story starts off with Mrs. Frisby in her winter home, a cinderblock in the middle of a garden. She has to move to her summer home in five days because that’s when the owners of the field will plow it. Unfortunately, one of her sons is sick and wouldn’t be able to survive walking to their summer home. Mrs. Frisby goes to the rats of NYMH for help. They move her winter house and tell her their past. They were captured by a laboratory and experimented on to make them smarter, but they escaped. The book ends with the rats of NYMH moving away and Mrs. Frisby and her children wondering what happened. This is a really good book and I recommend it to everyone.

  1. I saw the movie "The Secret of N.I.M.H." when it first came out, and shortly afterwards we got the book. I really enjoyed reading the book, and think I liked it even better than the movie. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it also.
