Despereaux Tilling has always been different, ever since he was born with his eyes open. Strangely enough, when normal four-ounce mice were nibbling on book pages, the two-ounce Despereaux was reading them! Because of all these things, Despereaux is destined to encounter rats, a king, a cauliflower-eared serving girl, and most of all, the princess.
I loved this book because, even though it is mostly geared toward elementary students, I truly believe that anyone who reads it will fall in love with the characters and adventure that DiCamillo has so wonderfully composed.
