Racso and the Rats of NIMH

Yes, this is the sequel to Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. Jane Leslie Conly, the author of Racso, is the daughter of the late Robert C O'Brien, who wrote the award-winning original. As both an analogy of life and an extremely well-written story, this is a superb book. Racso is en route to find the Rats of NIMH, symbols of a 'better life'. 'Scientists taught them to read and gave them special injections to make them clever,' He wouldn't have survived far into his journey but for Timothy Frisby, a humble field mouse, rescuing him from drowning in a whirlpool. The two become friends and fellow travellers, as Racso pursues his Grail. 'Learning is important. I've got to educate myself. I can't spend my whole life lying around the sewers eating rubbish!'
