Margaret and Artie are lost in the woods until superintelligent rats rescue them. Safe for now, they face a race against winter to return home. But their silence is crucial to protect their new allies. Can they keep the secret, or will questions unravel everything? As the stakes rise, the siblings must navigate a delicate balance between loyalty and survival, with the fate of their rescuers hanging in the balance.

From the publisher

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 rats’ 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.
