‘Racso, a brash and boastful little rodent, is making his way to Thorn Valley, determined to learn how to read and write and become a hero.His bragging and lies get him off to a bad start, but a crisis gives him the opportunity to prove his mettle.A worthy successor [to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, a Newbery Medal winner by the author's father].' 'BL. 1986 Children's Editors' Choices (BL) |

 Written on December 8, 1999 Summary: WONDERFULY EXCITING i started reading and i could not put it down racso and timothy have many adventures while preparing for a great big adventure  Written on May 15, 1999 Summary: I was disappointed in this sequel. Even though I enjoyed this book, I found that it lacked continuity with Robert O'Brien's original book, "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." The book was an easier read, but it doesn't have the detail that the first book had. I read both aloud to my students. My students all said they liked the original book better. Written on January 4, 1999 Summary: A great book for children. Racso and the Rats of NIMH was a great book it actually was my favorite utill I read another great book. I would recommend reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH before you read Racso and the Rats of NIMH. ( Read Racso's name backwords) Written on October 4, 1998 Summary: Better than the Original I recommend reading the Robert C. O'Brien original "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh" before this title, in order to better understand the plot line. Having said that, I find this book superior to the original work. Ms. Conly is skilled in writing for her audience--grade schoolers. Mr. O'Brien suffered (though not extremely so) from a common writing quirk in many children's books--too much exposition, too flowery language--which gives the young reader problems in following the story. Ms. Conly does much better writing in a clear, straightforward manner. Come to think of it, a lot of writers of adult material could use this ability. Written on December 16, 1997 Summary: Very good! "Racso and the Rats of NIMH" is one of the best books I have ever read. It's about a rat named Racso who has always wanted to be a scientist. So Racso ran away from home in the city to try to learn to read and write. During this time a young mouse by the name of Timothy was going to school in Thorn Valley where the rats of NIMH lived. On his way to school he met Racso. Timothy invited Racso to come to school with him. When they got to Thorn Valley they were four days late because Timothy was usually flown by a crow named Jeremy. The rest is for you to read, and I definitely recommend you do. I really liked the way Jane Leslie Conly put the story together to get the book, and how Racso told tall tales, like his family was very rich and lived in the bottom of a mansion. I thought that was funny. What I didn't like was that the book was too long, way too long to read in two weeks. I read over 200 pages in about a week and on Tuesday I read over 100 pages. I recommend this book to people who like funny adventure stories like the first one, "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH". Review by Jacob Gilden, Duniway School, 4th grade. |
