Winner of the Newberry Medal, this is a stirring fantasy from the author of books such as Because of Winn-Dixie. The hero is a mouse and his adventures.

This was a very cute children's story. There's action, adventure, romance and comedy all wrapped up into one. Read it, it's a short easy read and you WILL enjoy it. I promise. It's super super cute!

The downside? The author talks to you. I find that highly annoying - the "Dear Reader" parts. Oh, just shut up and tell the story, Ms. Author Lady.

This book is fantastic bringing you to sorrow and grief at the end you truly care for the character. This book is good to read with a young child or old.

I am so bummed! I gave my daughter extra money for her school book fair for the Tales of Desperaux, and when she brought it home I realized it wasn't the original book, but based on the movie! I don't plan on reading this, but it is large print and easy sentences for a budding reader.
Well, it would make a fast light read for me...
