R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH

When Margaret and her little brother RT are lost in the forests surrounding Thorn Valley, they can hardly believe that their rescuers are the super-intelligent rats of NIMH. At first Margaret longs to return home, especially when she realises what hard work the rats expect of her, but gradually she begins to appreciate their way of life, far removed from fast-food and videos. And RT, formerly a strange and silent child, finds an outlet for his sense of fun with Christopher and Racso, his new rat friends. But one day the children must return home. Will they be able to keep hidden the identity of their friends? Or will the secret be too great a burden, leaving the rats of NIMH in danger of discovery ...? Jane Leslie (only, daughter of the late Robert C. O'Brien follows the success of Racso and the Rats of NIMH with a story as enjoyable and imaginative as her father's original Newbery Medal winner Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.
