The Tale of Despereaux
Kate DiCamillo
Once Upon A Time
A mouse born in a castle, the only one of his litter to survive. He dreams of being a hero, the knight in shining armor, and of course, getting the princess. His older siblings and the entire mouse community declared him as strange, arousing many gasps and dramatic “Mon Dieu’s” from his French mother which means “my god.”
The brave mouse outcasted by his family takes a red thread and a needle to war in this evocative, plot-driven work of art. Will he get his princess?
☆☆☆☆☆ – 5 stars
“Stories are light,” Gregory the jailer told Despereaux. Reader, I hope you have found some light here.

I like that your way of reviewing was a little different than some of the other blogs. This really is a great book I read it as a kid! Did you know they made a movie as well?

Yes! I watched the movie in my 4th grade class. I strongly recommend the book over the movie though. The two are very different in my opinion. Glad to see I reminded you of such a great authors work. 🙂
