Oscar Stormy writes the following about The Tale of Despereaux :
There once lived a mouse named Despereanx. He was born in a castle to a critical family. He was as you say an odd ball. He falls in love with the princess pea. He gets sent to the dungeon. And has to face a rat named Chiaroscuro he thraetens the princess and has to save her.
I thought the book was great. It was exiting you never know what could happen. The characters were realistic even if the main characters were animals but some were humans. And the action was great. The writer was great. The story could be believable and unbelievable at the same time.I love this book and I hope you do to.
