An incredibly awesome book by Kate Dicamillo that tells the separate stories of Desperaux Tilling, a tiny mouse shunned by the rest of his kind, Chiaroscuro(Aka. Roscuro), a once light-loving rat whose heart was broken
years ago, and Mig, a poor servant girl whose father sold her for a couple of cigarettes, a red tablecloth, and a hen. In the last section of the book the characters come together during Roscuro's plot to kidnap
the princess and... that's all I'm saying for the sake of not ruining the ending(sorry :D). This beautiful story is at least five times better (and deeper) than that shit they call The Tale of Desperaux movie (
friendship?! WTF?).
If you haven't read it then you should! Though...I wouldn't really suggest it if you're over a certain age(i.e. 16 and up shouldn't read it in public or at all if you're used to more
challenging books) because of the simplicity of reading it(though not extremely simple).
