The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

3.5

I love Kate DiCamillo as an author and human!! Her imagination and wording are always so thoughtful. However, I don’t think this is one of her best children’s books. The characters are so lovable and life lessons shine through, but the plot is a bit hard to follow since it’s divided into three “books”. The storyline is trying to be really epic and heroic but fell a bit flat for me.
