Tale of Despereaux!

It will make you very tense. So, read this book!!!!

And you will soon find out that it is filled with adventure, excitement, and bravery. And parts of it will make you so mad!

It is also filled with mice.

The Tale of Despereaux is an adventure. It's about caring, and about bravery, about not always staying in the shadows. If you come out of the shadows, you get seen, which is not a good thing for mice and rats. If you come out of the shadows, you might have an adventure. Adventure is not good in the mouse world -- Except for Despereaux! Despereaux gets his tail chopped off! However, Despereaux the mouse saves the human Princess Pea from the mad rat.

We want you to read this book.

I would never name my child Princess Pea because it sounds disgusting.

By BlackArabian, IceHockeyGirl, and LilBlondie of EES.

P.S. Anybody else out there like ice hockey?
P.P.S. Does anyone like Arabian horses?

I enjoyed your review of this book! The one thing that bothered me is the way the author kept saying "And so Dear Reader..." that got really monotonous. Other than that, I liked it.
I don't like ice hockey or horses-but I love basketball!
