Title:The Tale of Desperaux Author:Kate Dicamillo Copyright:2003 Number of Pages:269

Some of the main characters in The Tale Of Desperaux are the princess pea, Mig, and of course Desperaux. The princess pea is beatiful and bright and polite she is also the king and queens daughter but the queen died because a rat named Roscuro fell in her soup and she had a heart attack because she seen a rat in her favorite meal. Mig was a impolite person that lived with a man who adopted her and treated her very bad she was very dirty and unhealthy then became wealthy until one day the king's guards came and took her away from him and then she lived at the castle and ate so much stuff that she became chunky. She also wanted to take the princesses crown and be the princess. Desperaux is curios and adventurous his ears are like dumbo ears and he loves the princess he is also the only one that was born from his mom and when he was born his eyes were open.

This story takes place in a castle and the dungeon. It also takes place in the throne room. It is always dark in the dungeon and rats live done there with people that did something bad such as Gregory he was put down there because he harmed people and killed them. The castle was very bright and the halls were long and narrow. The throne room was big and tall it was used mainly for balls and thats where the king and queen's royal chairs were.

There is two big problems in my story the first one is that Desperaux gets thrown in the dungeon because he loves the princess and then he almost gets ate by rats but Gregory helps him and he said if Desperaux told him a story he would not let them eat him. Another reason why he got thrown down there was because he said he would not say he did not love the princess and he did and he was not going to lie. The other problem is the princess pea gets woke up in the middle of the night by Mig and Roscuro. They took the princess down in the dungeon and threatened to kill her but Mig could not do such a thing they only did this because Mig wanted to be the princess. The first problem got fixed because Gregory helped Desperaux get out and the second problem I cant tell what happened because it is the end of the story.

I would reccomend this story for ages 8 and up because younger ones might not understand it well as the others do. Another reason why i would want you to read this is because it gives you ides of what you might want to be when you get older. This is the best story I have ever read and I hope it will be the best one you have ever read too. I got this book from my house the reason I have this book is because I went to the flea market and we were selling stuff and the guy beside to us was selling books for 25 cents apiece. I hope you liked my book review and will read The Tale of Desperaux.
