The Tale of Despereaux
Despereaux Tillings is a small mouse with a large task, to rescue a beautiful human princess. This book is divided into four different sections that tell the story from different viewpoints. Book 1 covers Despereaux’s background and origins, while book 2 is told from the point of Roscuro, an evil rat with a shadowy past. Book 3 is told by Miggery Sow, a servant girl who is sold by her father for a handful of cigarettes, a red tablecloth, and a hen. All of the books are set years apart, building to the concluding Book 4.
This is such a great book and I loved it so I definitely recommend this for ages 9+. This is one of my favourite books and I have read it so many times I can't keep count that is how good it is so read the book!!!!
