The Tale of Despereaux

Review by Nathan:
The Tale of Despereaux is a about mouse named as you might guess, Despereaux.  He lives in a castle with many other mice, but he is not like other mice.  He soon falls "in love" with the human princess named Pea.  Due to this, he is sentenced by the mouse council to be thrown in the dungeon which is filled with mice eating rats.  Meanwhile, a rat is planning to lock the princess in the dungeon.  Will Despereaux live and will the princess be freed?

This was a well written story but it was not one of my favorite stories.  (It was a "fairy tale" story.)

Age range:7-12    Book Category: Children's Fiction
