Review - Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
Good story, good writing, but the ending seemed to be written with a sequel in mind.

| Notes: | There's something very strange about the rats living under the rosebush at the Fitzgibbon farm. But Mrs. Frisby, a widowed mouse with a sick child, is in dire straits and must turn to these exceptional creatures for assistance. Soon she finds herself flying on the back of a crow, slipping sleeping powder into a ferocious cat's dinner dish, and helping 108 brilliant, laboratory-enhanced rats escape to a utopian civilization of their own design, no longer to live "on the edge of somebody else's, like fleas on a dog's back." COMMENTS — Mrs. Frisby won the Newbery Medal. |
