Ok I was initally gonna start reading my books by stephen king but decided to do those last and take a couple other books first. (save the best till last). The book im am reading right now is called tale of despereaux by kate dicamillo. this is about a mouse that enjoys music, stories,, and a young princess named pea. Throughout this book I will be finding out mainly what it is about due to the fact it doesnt say much on the back cover. The book starts out with the birth of the mouse. The mouse is the only one to survive in the litter. As of right now they are located in a castle in France. The mouses name was Despereaux due to the disappointment in the mother that only one mouse survived the birth. The strange and odd feature of the mouse is his ears are fairly large and his eyes were open almost immediately after the birth. They didnt think he was going to survive because of the odd features that had happened. But this is his story and he lived to tell it.
