"I was surprised that most of this book was written as a flashback, which is a bummer. <br/><br/>Rated G"

"Childrens book that revolves around rats and their higher intellingence! Great introduction to the sci fi realm. "

Victoria

"Yes! I grew up loving the movie, have shared it with my kids and it's a house favorite. We read the book for the first time and *tears what a touching story! and far different from the plot of the movie"

"Wasn't a big hit for me. Nothing specific that made it as such, but was glad when it was over, and never really felt into it to begin with."

Jessica English-Ramsay

"This is a great story and its like going on a journey with Ms.Frisby herself a kind mouse indeed."

Vicky slime2.0

"Even though its a children's book I was very invested in the story. The rats background was way more in depth than I would of thought. 10/10 reccomend "
