Summary: Much More than a Children's book!
Comment: I first read this book in 5th or 6th grade, and it still ranks as one of my favorite books, even though I am in high school. I believe that Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is a book that can be enjoyed by children as well as adults. An adult would certainly get more meaning out of the book as it deals with many issues such as animal testing, and even genetic engineering that younger readers would not understand. The plot seems simple enough at first, a widowed mouse seeks help to save her youngest son who is deathly ill and cannot be exposed to the chilled winter air, but in this quest for help, Mrs. Frisby uncovers many secrets about her late husband's past, and his association with a mysterious group of super-intelligent rats, the Rats of NIMH. The entire book is wonderful and there is never a dull moment. The ending is by far the best part of the book, as it will keep on the edge of your seat for many pages. Enjoy!

Summary: Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH , A typical Newbery
Comment: I think that Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH deserved to be the Newbery honor book not the actual award. The book was not exactly gripping. The beginning started out slow and boring and I thought it was going to be a tough read. Mrs. Frisby takes a while to pick up. Robert C. O'Brien has a lot of talent, but his talent would be better used with an older childs book.The story line was definetely well developed and creative. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH was about a mouse who had to move her house away from the garden to avoid being plowed by the farmer. The only problem is that Mrs. Frisby's son Timothy gets sick and he can not leave the house so when it comes time to move Mrs. Frisby can not. She gets advice from a friend of her's to go to the Rats. When she does this the Rats tell her their whole story about what happened to them in NIMH. The part where they were telling the story was very well written. I particularly loved the part involving the rats. All in all this was a very good book.

Summary: Mrs.Frisby and The Rats of NIMH
Comment: This is a a great book for medium size kids. My favorite character is Martin because he is very brave talking at the end.
This is a good book because it keeps you wanting to read more and more. I
had a hard time not going ahead of the schedule.
