BOOK NAME: Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
AUTHOR: Robert C. O'Brien
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is about a mouse named Mrs. Frisby who lives on a farm. Every year Mrs. Frisby has to move or else the plow will kill her family. She was married to Jonathan who died last summer.
Mrs. Frisby's son Timothy was sick and wasn't strong enough to move, so their friend, a crow named Jeremy, took her to the owl who told her to go to the rats where she met Brutus and Justin. The two rats knew Jonathan because once they lived by a farmer's market and everyday the rats would get food there. One time, they got captured and taken to NIMH - a laboratory with rats and mice, where they got shots which gave them super-long lifespan and super-smarts...they could even read and write!. One day the rats found a way to get out - through the air conditioning - and they took the mice with them. When the strong air conditioning blew, all the mice blew back, except for two, Jonathan and Mr. Ages.
The rats helped the Frisby family move, but Mrs. Frisby got captured by the farmer, and Justin helped her escape. They eventually did move the house and that's the end of part one.
The scientists from NIMH went to find the rats who lived under a rose bush. The scientists mowed down the rosebush and shot a poison gas into the rats' hole. Brutus fell and two brave rats went to help Brutus who breathed in the poison. Mrs. Frisby saw Mr. Ages helping Brutus and went to help. Finally Brutus got better and they all moved to Thorn Valley. Once Timothy was better they moved to their summer home where Mrs. Frisby told all of her kids the story of the Rats and NIMH.
I liked the book because with every twist you don't know what's going to happen. If you liked the other book I reviewed, Despereaux, then you'll definitely like Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.

To my eternal shame, I never finished this book. A teacher lent it to me, or maybe I borrowed it from a friend, and then they wanted it back. WHat I did read was good, though.

I loved the movie, but didn't get the chance to read it. Now that it is summer, I will definitely go and read this book! Hip, Hip, Hip, and away I'll go! :)
I either read this in 5th or 4th grade. I think most of my class enjoyed it. Once we finished it we saw the movie in class! I reminded me of everything that went on because we only read one chapter a day. I really enjoyed the book! ;->~

In 4th grade, our class read an excerpt of it and I liked it so much I read the book! It was good, but I felt like it was too long and some parts, I felt were not needed. My rating of the book is 3 out of 5.
I really like this book. You should totally read the sequel.
I read this book on my own in third grade, then had to read it again in fifth. I think the book iz good, but only when u r reading it of your own free will. Recordbreakingreader, thx! i didn't no there was a sequil!
