Don’t let the age level fool you, Robert C. O’Brien has crafted a wonderful classic. Original, fulfilling – it’s a wonder why this book isn’t more popular. The mother mouse, Mrs. Frisby, is on a quest to save her son. Alas, this is just a cover up for the more interesting plotline unveiled not so far into this 233 page classic. A society of rats, hidden in the rosebush… quite like ours. Save, they’re probably much less selfish than us humans.

If you have this book, read it, it’s a quick, thought provoking, and entertaining read.
