The book it's based on (Mr. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM) is worth reading as well, even for adults.
And you could always make Nicodemus the kid's middle name. At least its easier to hide.

Maria read the book, too, when she was little.
Also... middle name... hmm...
You're just jealous because you can't get away with speaking in the third person...

i love reading childrens lit, and i've read 2 or 3 other robert c. o'brien books, but i've been working on Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nymn for about a year... i just can't get into it... maybe its because i have a hard time reading about talking animals... i had similar problems with redwall... i think perhaps its because watership down scared the crap out of me when i was a kid! someone bought the movie for me thinking 'cute bunnies', but then dogs started eating them, and i started to cry...

Fifth: Ha ha, you're named after a dog.
Sixth: How about Keenspacers?
Everyone: Nah, that name sucks!
Have you ever heard of someone making up his own nickname intentionally? Nicknames just sorta stick at you.
I knew a girl who nicknamed herself Skittles.
Her real name was Irazema or something like that and she hated it.
