Hey, I'm double blog-hopping today, because while hopping on the first one I saw a second one that is too delicious to pass up. It's hosted by
Brad Jaeger, and the theme on which we are to blog is "The First Novel that Moved Me."
The first novel that ever moved me, that ever sucked me in and wouldn't let go until the adventure was completed was
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I don't remember exactly how old I was when I first read it, but I think it was either 4th or 5th grade.
It was the cute mousey on the cover that drew me in, but it was the intrigue and mystery of the rats and the secret of Mr. Frisby's past that kept me turning the pages. And the resilient Mrs. Frisby was such a simple but admirable protagonist for my young mind to relate to.
