Racso and the Rats of NIMH

My students loved this book. They thought it was as good as Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I used both books with my students. Racso was well written. The group is hoping for another book. I was not sure that they would find the ending satisfactory. They discussed that part more than the others. It was an enjoyable escape from a basal reader

not in the same league as the original

My kids and I enjoyed reading together, but doesn't measure up to the original.

A Very Worth Successor!

A superb follow up to "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM." My 9 and 10 year olds both agreed they liked this book more than the first and continue to talk about it weeks after we finished the story.

Very good sequel

This book is a sequel to the excellent "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of N.I.M.H." This second book is not written by the author the first, Robert C. O'Brien: this author is his daughter. Despite that, this is a very creditable sequel to the first book. Fortunately, the poor animated movie sequel to "The Rats of N.I.M.H." is *NOT* based on this book. Only minor inconsistencies exist with O'Brien's work. The book generates less of a sense of wonder and mystery, but is nevertheless highly recommended to anyone who enjoyed the first book. The third book in the series, "R-T, Margaret and the Rats of N.I.M.H." is not as enjoyable, and I only recommend it to die-hard fans of the Rats of N.I.M.H.

?Racso, a brash and boastful little rodent, is making his way to Thorn Valley, determined to learn how to read and write and become a hero. His bragging and lies get him off to a bad start, but a crisis gives him the opportunity to prove his mettle. A worthy successor [to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, a Newbery Medal winner by the author's father].' 'BL.
