Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

Author: Robert C. O'Brien

Mrs. Frisby, a widowed mouse, faces a crisis when her youngest son falls ill just as the family must move to avoid the farmer’s plow. Desperate for help, she discovers a colony of extraordinary rats living beneath a rosebush. These aren’t ordinary rodents, but escaped lab subjects with enhanced intelligence. As Mrs. Frisby learns their incredible story, she finds herself caught up in a daring plan that will test her courage and challenge everything she thought she knew about the world around her.

The rats had more intelligence than they knew what to do with, and that was their problem.
