R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH - Jane Leslie Conly

When Margaret and her shy, silent brother, Artie (R-T), get hopelessly lost in the North Woods, all that saves them is her ingenuity and a little help from Racso, Christopher, and the rest of the super smart rats of NIMH. A worthy successor the the NIMH tradition.--Booklist. When Margaret and her younger brother, Artie, get lost in the woods on a family camping trip, they are rescued by rats -- the superintelligent rats of NIMH. Taken into the rat's community, the children are safe for the time being. But winter is coming. Margaret and Artie have to get back home. And when they do, they must protect the rats who have helped them. Everything depends on their silence... but it's hard to evade questions forever.
