Title: The Tale of Despereaux
Author: Kate DiCamillo
Rating:****
Review submitted by: bravepandagirl
    This is an exciting, adventurous tale. When a small mouse with overly large ears is born with his eyes open, his parents think, �He is such a disappointment.� Desperaux acts nothing like a mouse should; he prefers reading books to chewing them to bits. His favorite story is of a princess rescued by a knight in shining armor.
     One day Desperaux sees the beautiful Princess Pea, falls in love and allows Pea to touch him. Banished to the dungeon by the mice for such a horrible crime, he is sure to be eaten by the rats. While there, Despereaux learns of a rat who loves light, a girl named Miggory Sow, and the plot to bring Pea into the dungeon forever.
     Can Desperaux escape from the dungeon and save the princess from this terrible fate?
     Although this story is especially for readers ages 7-12, it is sure to captivate anyone.
