Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NHIM

Robert C. O’Brien

Ages 8-12

When Mrs. Frisby’s youngest son, Timothy, falls ill, it seems like all hope is lost. He cannot survive the cold spring nights outside, yet their cozy winter garden home will soon be overrun by Farmer Fitzgibbon’s plow. Mrs. Frisby seems to have run out of options until she encounters a group of strange rats–very strange rats. Rats who read and write, have electric lights and plumbing, and have plans to start their own civilization. Who are these rats, and why are they interested in helping Mrs. Frisby?
