A worthy sequel to the classic "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." Racso is a likable protagonist as he tries to adjust to a new community, and gets understandably frustrated when not everything is smooth sailing. Some of the bumps along the way are his own fault, and some are beyond his control, but all along you root for him to succeed. The callbacks to the original novel are delightful, even and especially when they make Racso's life harder.
