The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo Book Summary

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. Featuring black-and-white illustrations and a refreshed cover by Timothy Basil Ering, as well as an excerpt from Kate DiCamillo's newest novel, Raymie Nightingale.

Cute. A good book to read

Awesome. I love this book, best book I have ever read, and it is so interesting

Wonderful. I have so much wonderful things to say about Kate DiCamillo that I can't even fit it all here. Let’s just say she is an AMAZING author. My mom and I love her, as do so many others. And this book tops all mouse tales ever created. It tops maybe even all BOOKS ever created. It is the type of book with characters who are emotional, and real. This book might make you sob, but in a good way. It is a great children’s book. Some parts like Miggery Sow's part, which was soooo sad and a little bit violent (she was beaten a lot) but it is overall a good book and if somebody doesn't like this book then I have no idea what they possibly WILL like.

Tale of Despereaux. It is a wonderful book.Also if you stop to ask question you'll learn something a moral or lessen. I found a lessen a moral in each chapter. See if you can do the same

Love it!!. I love this book it's amazing it's about a mouse he gets sent to a dungeon and when he is out of The dungeon he has to go back because the princess was captured by the rats so he has to be brave in order to rescue her

Good. It a fantastic book!!

Do not read to children. I really wanted to love this book, but I found it absolutely horrible. This is not a children's book. I read bits and pieces of this to my 4 and 8 year-old children and edited the rest out. If you are comfortable with murder, hatred, revenge, masked jailers who shove relatives to their death, and the selling of one's children, etc. as topics in children's books, then you might like this book. I prefer innocent and wholesome stories for my children like Summer of the Monkeys.

Awesome Book. I'm reading this book in class and it's amazing Thank you Kate Dicamillo

Luv it. I loved this book as a kid

Weird. This book was really weird. I wouldn't recommend this book.
