jfranco020 's review for:
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
by Robert C. O'Brien
The story follows Mrs. Frisby as she attempts to save her sick son, Timothy. Timothy is very ill and cannot move from their house under the garden. Unfortunately, in five days the plow will come and destroy their home. In her attempt to save her son, Mrs. Frisby talks with owls, confronts a cat, and works with the rats. In doing so, she also learns about her deceased husband’s mysterious past.
I enjoyed this book, primarily because I had watched the movie over and over again throughout my childhood. However the writing style is a little slow and bland. It is not nearly as gripping as some of the newer books out there. Yet, despite its age, it was still a great read. It’s not my first recommendation, but I wouldn’t regret handing it to a child.
