Despereaux Tilling is not a normal mouse. He breaks mouse rules like "Never talk to a human." He has big ears and his eyes were wide open when he was born. This story is about a mouse who loves a princess, a poor girl who dreams of being a princess, and a rat who loves light.
I give this story 5 stars because it is a good story. Somehow it seemed just the right length. The characters were good because they had interesting names and interesting personal stories.
The movie version was well done but is very different from the book. It tells its own different story about Despereaux. I enjoyed the movie but it is not the same story.
