The Tale of Despereaux is about an extremely small mouse with extremely big ears! His interests only get him into trouble. One day, a mouse finds Despereuax talking to Princess Pea (a human). This is highly forbidden for a mouse, but Despereaux has fallen in love with the princess. He is sent to the dungeon for his punishment where the rats will eat him alive. Despereaux luckily escapes from the dungeon. Once he finds out that the evil rat, Roscuro, has kidnapped the princess and has put her in the dungeon, Despereaux knows he must save the princess. Despereaux decides to go down in the dungeon. Was this a good idea?

This is one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors, I rate this book a 10, the adventure is wonderful, and the plot is also interesting.

A mouse named Despereaux is a very unusual mouse. Let's just say he doesn't always follow mouse rules. One day, he bumps into the princess and falls in love with her. A server, Mig, and a rat from the dungeon, takes the princess to the dungeon because Mig wants to be the princess.

The story doesn't end the way that you would expect it to.
