Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'BrienMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I got interested in the author when reading Z for Zachariah in prep for the recent movie version, which I thought was a better film than it seems most critics thought. (Good job, Margot Robbie!) Now, I want to re-live the classic animated film having (finally) read this clever and engaging tail a plucky Mrs. Frisby mouse and her involvement with the supernatural "divergents" from NIMH seeking a path to freedom. Quite an effective morality tale and I am sure thought-provoking for the YA reader.
