Racso and the Rats of NIMH — Jane Leslie Conly

The superintelligent rats of MRS. FRISBY AND THE RATS OF NIMH are back!

Racso, a young city rat, has run away from home to join the famous rats of NIMH in their secret community, Thorn Valley. Racso wants to escape a dark secret in his past -- and he longs to be a hero. But the other rats aren't impressed with his city smarts. They're too busy trying to stop humans from building a dam that will flood the valley. The dam's computer is programmed to destroy their home!

The rats have faced crises before, but it is Racso who comes up with a brilliant idea to sabotage the project. And when the rats put his dangerous plan into action, Racso has a chance to prove himself -- and learn what it really means to be a hero.
