About This Book

Mrs. Frisby, a widowed field mouse, must move her family before the farmer plows, but her youngest son is too ill to travel. She seeks help from a colony of super-intelligent rats who escaped from a laboratory where experiments gave them extraordinary abilities, and learns a surprising connection to her late husband.
