undefinedDiCamillos 2004 Newbery Medal-winning fairy tale, wittily subtitled the story of a mouse, a princess, some soup, and a spool of thread, is a huge change of direction for this successful American childrens author. Instead of another tale of real life, as seen in Because of Winn-Dixie and The Tiger Rising, DiCamillo brings her same style of delicate, literary simplicity to bear on a young fantasy that will be equally enduring and that is already equally lauded. An unnamed narrator tells the story of a mouse called Despereaux Tilling. He is a special mouse but few believe it at his time of birth. The ly sole survivor of a large litter, Despereaux has large ears, a small stature and his eyes open way too soon. Its not natural! He can also read and hear sounds that no one else can hear--two very dangerous talents for a castle mouse like him. He is expected to die quickly--but confounds everyone when he fails to do so. The novel is split into four parts, each book introducing different characters, and then intertwining them all together in a story that, though not told at breakneck speed, is quirky and unforgettable. After Despereauxs sad story, in which he falls deeply in love with the human Princess Pea and is greatly punished for his crime, we also meet Roscuro--a conniving rat whose love of light and soup get him in deep trouble too. And then theres Miggery Sow, a dim-witted peasant girl sold by her her for a red tablecloth, a hen and some s. Despite her hard life she has a wonderful dream to become a princess. The writing is carefully crafted and the themes that are tackled are reassuringly familiar. Featuring Timothy Basil Erings stunning illustrations, The Tale of Despereaux is an old-fashioned adventure that is quite timeless. (Age 8 and over) --John McLay
