Banished from his home for having such lofty ambitions, Despereaux sets off on an amazing adventure with his good-hearted rat friend Roscuro. The two go on a very noble quest to rescue an endangered princess and save an entire kingdom from darkness.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Despereaux submitted by kbcmmom on July 26, 2011, 7:40pm My son read this book at school and suggested we read it together. The movie was a good rendition, but as always, we found the book better. Very family friendly with opportunity for discussion on a variety of topics.
