Quote #10

Martin said, "I'm going to go to Thorn Valley, somehow, someday." (28.35)

At the beginning of the book, all of the Frisby children seem very young and childish. But by the end, they have experienced a lot: a sick brother, a mother's dangerous expeditions, a house moved by rats. They also learn a lot about who they are when they learn about their dad. This change is reflected in Martin's desire to go find the rats. The more childish, fearful Martin that we met earlier would never have had the guts to travel all that way, but the new and transformed Martin certainly does.
