A brave mouse, a covetous rat, a wishful serving girl, and a princess named Pea come together in Kate DiCamillo's Newbery Medal–winning tale.
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. These 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. What happens then? As Kate DiCamillo would say: Reader, it is your destiny to find out.
With black-and-white illustrations and a refreshed cover by Timothy Basil Ering.

i feel that they missed a WHOLE lot in the movie and that it was HORRIBLE!
another nice classic.
I love the book the best book I've read. ( well one of them. I have so many I like.) The movie was ok, but the book is way way way better.
This book has a combination of a mouse ,soup, and thread and is soooooooo good. But the movie, let's just say it was real awkward.
