1972 Newbery Medal
Mrs. Frisby's youngest son gets sick which becomes a problem. Moving day is coming and they need the house moved. She goes to see an owl that tells her to see some rats. When she talks to the rats, they decide they will move her house. After her house is moved, the rats also move to a new home because the exterminator was coming to kill them.
It was an awesome book with good problems and solutions for the type of book. If I could add something, I would add more action.
4 stars - It was a great book and I recommend it to others.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien
1972 Newbery Medal
This book is about Mrs. Frisby and her son Timothy is ill and they have to move soon but if Timothy moves he will die. So, Mrs. Frisby goes to the rats and they help her move to a safe place so the tractor won't kill them.
I thought some parts were exciting but then it would stay on a not exciting part for two or three chapters.
