bookthia 's review for:
The Tale of Despereaux
by Kate DiCamillo
A fun and sweet adventure story about an unlikely mouse hero saving a princess. The narration style is fun for young readers with the mixed narrative voices (plot predominantly in 3rd person with regular second-person “dear Reader” reflections). Some abuse content as one character regularly receives “clouts” to the head for misbehaving. Great vocabulary! This book would be great for an advanced reader (Grade 3/4) that reads above their level but isn’t ready for content that is above their maturity.
