    I went to a meeting today and two of my colleagues mentioned how good this book is. I checked it out soon after.

    Supposedly in January 2008 a movie version of this book will be released. It has been suggested to use this as a read-aloud to my class.

    The book started out great. It lost a bit of its luster around page 70. The story was fun and I think it would make for a good read aloud.

    The ending seemed rushed and not quite believable, despite the genre.

  • Way too cute for it's own good - made me want to read it to someone much younger!

  • I've gone by this many times and never brought it home, but ever since I read Brother Odd and found out it had changed Brother Knuckles' life, I've been wanting to read it. So here I go.

Welcome to the story of Despereaux Tilling, a mouse who is in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in the darkness and covets a world filled with light. And it is the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl who harbors a simple, impossible wish. The three characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering castle, and, ultimately, into each other's lives. And what happens then? As Kate DiCamillo would say, listener, it is your destiny to find out. From the master storyteller who brought us Because of Winn-Dixie comes another classic--a fairy tale full of quirky, unforgettable characters, lovingly narrated with the author's trademark blend of humor and heartbreaking poignancy.
