Description taken from the back of Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH:

Mrs. Frisby, a widowed mouse with four small children, must move her family to their summer quarters immediately, or face almost certain death. But her youngest son, Timothy, lies ill with pneumonia and must not be moved. Fortunately, she encounters the rats of NIMHm an extraordinary breed of high intelligent creators who come up with a brilliant solution to her dilemma.

I used to say I didn’t enjoy reading Science-fiction books, but then I read this one! From brilliant animals to funny birds I was hooked from the beginning. If you’re just exploring the genre for the first time this is a great book to start with!

Until next time, with Faith, Hope, Love, and Feathers,

Inertia.
