A surprisingly thought provoking, philosophical, and exceptional read. I picked up this book because the movie had left an impression on me when I was younger. The book is, without a doubt, much better than the animated film.
The most fascinating part about this book is the main character, Mrs. Frisby. Despite being a mouse, she has to be the most well written depiction of a single mother I have ever come across in a book. Other books should follow the example of this one when writing a character who is a single mother!
This book is a classic, wonderful adventure, and certainly deserving of the Newbury Award. I highly recommend it.
