The+Tale+of+Despereaux

==== In The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo there is a mouse. And not an ordinary one, indeed. This mouse can talk to people, hear honey, dislikes munching on paper, was born with his eyes open, and loves fairy tales. This mouse's name is Despereaux. Despereaux lives in a castle with a young princess named Pea. Soon Despereaux finds himself talking to Pea and he lets her touch him. This was strictly forbidden by the mouse council. Despereaux was taken to trial and was found guilty. His punishment is to spend his whole life in the dungeon. Three mice in black hoods lead him to the dungeon. Despereaux realizes one of them is his brother, Furlogh. Imagine your own brother taking you to the dungeon! ====

==== I chose this book because there are parts that will make you wonder, think and stay excited. I could not put this book down! I was so intrigued by his attempt to get out of the dungeon. This is one of the best books I have ever read. It was so fun moving along in the story and finding out what is going to happen next! ====
