Huh! I had not realized the sequels were by a different author.
The first sequel, Racso and the Rats of NIMH, was the first book I ever bought for myself; I got to choose one book from an order form, and was delighted to find out that the book I loved had even more to it. The sequels after that were...disappointing, at best.
I try not to think about the animated version. I loved Mrs. Frisby, and turning her bravery, and the dependable, sensible rats, into Trust The Force Luke + Magic Crystals felt like a horrible betrayal of the whole point of the book.
