by Kate DiCamilloSummary: Despereaux, the little mouse with the big ears, has done the unthinkable--fallen in love with a human, and a princess, no less! This makes him very unpopular with the other mice, and he ends up in prison with some very unseemly rats. A rat falling in a bowl of soup kills the queen, complicating matters, and Miggery Sow, a peasant girl, strikes a deal with an evil rat because she is so dumb she believes she can take the place of the princess. Many plots blend together and intertwine to create an exciting and unusual adventure!
My thoughts:
This is total and complete escape reading! It's so much fun to shake your head at this silly little mouse with his big dreams, while rooting for him at the same time!
