Mice are supposed to be scared, timid creatures that hide in the walls. They are not to venture out. And they are certainly not to interact with others. But Despereaux will break all the rules and leave the castle's walls, all to win his beloved princess' heart. This 2003 Newbery winner is a tale that will capture anyone's heart.
