The story centers around Mrs. Frisby's efforts to move her family before the farmer's plow arrives, and her encounters with the rats, who have gained human-like intelligence through NIMH's experiments. O'Brien's daughter, Jane Leslie Conly, later penned two sequels after her father's death in 1973, creating a NIMH trilogy.
