Summary: Time is running out for Mrs Frisby. She must move her family of mice before the farmer destroys their home. But her youngest son, Timothy, is too ill to survive the move. Help comes in the unexpected form on some mysterious, super-intelligent rats. But the rats are in danger too, and, little by little, Mrs Frisby learns the secrets of their extraordinary past.
