Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
FROM SARAH:
Mrs. Frisby leads us into a world of courage, sacrifice and scientific wonder. A timeless tale of bravery and ingenuity, this Newbery Medal-winning classic blends heart, mystery, and adventure in a story that continues to captivate readers since its publication in 1971. I'd recommend it for ages 9 and up, with a little head's up for scenes depicting illness and the loss of some characters.
FROM PUBLISHER:
Mrs. Frisby, a widowed mouse with four small children, is faced with a terrible problem. She must move her family to their summer quarters immediately, or face almost certain death. But her youngest son, Timothy, lies ill with pneumonia and must not be moved.
Fortunately, she encounters the rats of NIMH, an extraordinary breed of highly intelligent creatures, who come up with a brilliant solution to her dilemma. And Mrs. Frisby in turn renders them a great service.
