The Tale of Despereaux
By Kate DiCamillo
Read in 5th Grade
Despereaux Tilling was born with massive ears and open eyes. They all thought he would die. But he didn't. He was, however, a very odd mouse. He didn't do anything a normal mouse would do, and one day, he presented himself to a person - an unforgivable crime. He was banished to the dungeon to be eaten by the rats, but as fate would have it, he was saved by the keeper of the dungeon. The book then switches to Roscuro's point of view. He was born a rat, but he has always been entranced by light.
The princess of the castle once scorned him in his venture upstairs, and he has been plotting revenge ever since. But when he returns to the light, he crosses paths with Despereaux. And that little mouse just might be the thing to save the princess.
