Racso and the Rats of NIMH

          Racso and the Rats of NIMH is a really good book. It is by Jane Leslie Conly, who wrote a sequel to the book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien. Racso and the Rats of  NIMH was copyrighted in 1986. I would advise you to read it.
            Racso and the Rats of NIMH is about a mouse named Timothy who's going to Thorn Valley, the hideout for the rats of NIMH. Thorn Valley is also a school for young mice and rats. On the way he meets Racso, a city rat who is running away from home. Racso learns to read and write at Thorn Valley. Actually, Racso is the one who makes the plan to save Thorn Valley from being flooded by a dam.
                 What I like best is when the rats are copying the facts of the dam so they can destroy it. The night watchmen come into the room and catch two of the rats under a trashcan, one of whom is Racso. What happens? Will they get out? Find the answer in Racso and the Rats of NIMH.
