Mrs. Frisby is a mouse widow and has 4 kids. One day her youngest son falls ill and she goes to see the mouse healer. He gives her some medicine for her son. On the way home she met a crow that was trapped in some wire. She freed him and they became friends.

            There is this day called moving day and on that day the mice in the garden have to move to somewhere else because, the farmer goes through the garden and crunches everything up with the tractor. Mrs. Frisby’s son that got sick is not allowed to move out of the house or else he will get sick again. So Mrs. Frisby asks the crow for advice and he says to go to the owl. The owl tells her to go to the rats who are very peculiar creatures. She then finds why the rats are peculiar.

            My thoughts: ­­ I really like this book because it has a lot twists. Like at about half way through the book they introduced the rats. There are also a lot of different problems. Where one mouse gets sick and then there’s moving day. It made me feel like there were civilizations that are as advanced as us out there.

             I can relate to Mrs. Frisby not that I have the same problems but, I have had something I have wanted to do and then I have to do something else and then something else. So I never get to do what I wanted to. This compares to other books like in Eragon there was the problem of whose side am I on. And half way through they introduce that real problem.
