Average Rating: 
Rating: - good sequel to first book!
I found this book to be both exciting and funny.I liked the plot and the conclusions, but I was surprised and disappointed that one thing I thought would happen,didn't.I liked how they tell you which characters survived the end event from "Mrs.Frisby and the rats of NIMH". You Definitely have to read the first book before reading this one,it lifts all the suspense off.This is a good novel for kids from grades 4-8 who enjoy animals and adventure. This is not one of my favourite books(as I prefer dogs ... Read More
Rating:  - 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.
Rating:  - A shadow of the original
This entire book was weak, from the characters to the battle against the construction company. I've read better fanfiction than this collection of character archtypes, Racso the Mary Sue, and the stultification of the solid characters that made Mrs. Frisby so rich.

Rating:  - not in the same league as the original
My kids and I enjoyed reading together, but doesn't measure up to the original.
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
