Mrs.Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

In this story, Mrs.Frisby wants to start to move to the summer house as soon as possible. They live in the ground on a farm. The farmer plows through where they live so the family has to move to the summer house before the ground defrosts!

This year they have a problem! Timothy lies very sick and cannot get up till he is well. Mrs.Frisby is very worried about this because they might be killed by the time Timothy gets well! She does not dare to tell the kids about this problem because she dreads that they would get very worried!

She finds out by a friendly crow that she should go to the owl for some advice. So she went, but she was very worried because owls don't do well with mice. When she got inside the owls home he told her that she should go to the rats to ask them to move her house behind a bolder! Mrs.Frisby thought about that and went. She told the rats what her problem was and what the owl said and they agreed.

But she had a very important question. She had heard of the plan, she over heard it by some rats while she was coming. She really wants to know.....

What is the plan? Will Timothy get well? Will their house get moved?

I LOVED this book when I read it a million years ago (well, maybe fewer than a million). Great book blog!
