1972 Newbery Medal
The rats of NIMH learn more than the scientists bargain for. They escape and embark on an adventurous mission of mercy to save the orphaned family of a brave fieldmouse colleague. A story that is as engrossing as it is unusual. (9-11 yrs) (Kirkus UK) --Kirkus Review

Mrs. Frisby and her kids are in danger! The farmer might get his plow and plow over their house. One of Mrs. Frisby's kids has pneumonia and can't be moved unless it is very gently. Mrs. Frisby decides to visit the Rats of NIMH, a group of lab rats, for help. Will the rats' plan work?
I loved this book because of all the action and adventure.

It was such a good book but I almost cried at the end because it makes you think that Justin dies. Don't forget poor Timothy with pneumonia. It's good that Brutus survives.
It was my favorite book in the world because it has lots of drama.

It was a great book. At times it got so dramatic I forgot it was fantasy.
