Tale of Despereaux

My daughter Julia (8) & I just finished reading "The Tale of Despereaux" by Kate DiCamillo. It was a heartwearming, lovely story about a mouse, a rat, and a princess. While you might initially mistake it for a "fairy tale," this one was not your ordinary princess story. There is tragedy, adventure, suspense and last but not least, love (the essence of every fairy tale, wouldn't you agree)? This one, in my opinion, is a "must read" -- a tale that I'd love to read over and over again.

Some More Books

Stop Pretending was a book with only poems. The poems were about how she felt when her big sister went crazy. The Demonata-Lord Loss was a good book. Very descpritive, I could picture it in my mind. It was a book about a hell kind of. Like demons and stuff. It's was a pretty gory book so beware if you don't like that kinda of books. And lastly I read Cirque Du Freak- The Living Nightmare. It's about his boy whose goes to a freak show. The freak show changes his life.
