Three years after the Rats of N.I.M.H. establish their hidden home in Thorn Valley, a new journey begins.
Timothy Brisby, the son of the late Jonathan Brisby and Mrs. Brisby, leaves his quiet life behind to attend the rats' school in Thorn Valley, a place of knowledge, invention, and carefully guarded secrets. Along the way, he encounters Rasco, a clever but guarded city rat whose past is far more complicated than he lets on.
When Timothy and Rasco rescue a young mouse named Jenny, orphaned after her parents' deaths at N.I.M.H., their path becomes even more dangerous. Pursued by predators and tested by the wild, the trio's journey brings them face-to-face with the legendary Great Owl and, ultimately, with Justin and the Rats themselves.
As Thorn Valley faces an unexpected threat from the rising Trout River, secrets begin to surface-especially the truth about Rasco's connection to the traitor Jenner. With the valley and its remarkable rat civilization in peril, Timothy and Rasco must overcome fear, mistrust, and the shadows of the past to protect a community built on intelligence, courage, and hope.
In a race against time and nature, an unlikely friendship may be the key to saving everything the Rats of N.I.M.H. fought to build.
