The Tale Despereaux By: Kate DiCamillo

            Have you ever been punished for loving someone? Well Despereaux a poor little mouse has. He's been sentenced to the dungeon by his own father to be eaten by rats. He has been escorted down the concrete stairs by his brother where he's suppose to spend his last days. When he gets there he discovers that there may not be only rats and mice among him.
            The adventure that Despereaux is about to face will be one that he will always remember...That is, if he lives.
            This book involves three stories of hopeless beings:
             a mouse,
             a rat,
             and a human.
             Kate DiCamillo cleverly writes this book, in a way that is touching, fun to read and intriguing. She writes as if shes reading the story to you.
             I'd recommend this book to any reader interested in a dramatic and touching story.
