Pick of the Week

Reading doesn’t always have to be for school.
Jenny picks a quick read every week, just for fun.


Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

Cover
  • Author: Robert C. O’Brien
  • Year: 1971

Mrs. Frisby has a problem. Her youngest son’s life is in jeopardy, and there’s nothing she can do to save him from Farmer Fitzgibbon and his tractor. Then Mrs. Frisby—who’s a mouse, by the way—meets the Rats of NIMH. The rats are brave. They’re cunning. And they’re the result of a scientific experiment that has left them with the smarts to outwit humans. But time is running out for Mrs. Frisby’s son Timothy—and for the rats. Will Timothy survive? Will the rats prove themselves more intelligent than Farmer Fitzgibbon? And what about those ruthless scientists from NIMH …

Jenny’s rating (out of 5 stars): 5
You’ll like this book if: You like spunky heroines and wildly imaginative stories that tackle philosophical questions.
You won’t like this book if: Talking rats don’t appeal to you.
