Quote: "Look,' said a brother named Furlough. 'his eyes are open. Pa, his eyes are  open. They shouldn't be open"
"There is something wrong with him"
"They look like donkey ears, if you ask me."
"Its ridiculous. No mouse has ever, ever been this small"
Ass you can see I choose to put more than 1 quote this time. I did that to make sure you understand how different Despereaux was in comparison to the other mice. He was too small, his eyes were open when he was born, and he has too big ears. All this made him different from everyone else in his group.

 What happened so far: When Despereaux was born, he was different from his family and friends. He wasn't an ordinary mouse and unique, yet his friends didn't like it, they couldn't accept it. He didn't have any friends or family that loved him. The only thing that kept him going was the mysterious music which was coming out of their mouse hole. He listens every note in the serenity of his loneliness. One day he decides to step out of the mouse hole and discovers a beautiful princess singing to her father playing the piano. He instantly felt something he never did and didn't know excised. He fell in love with the princess. However the princesses father became furious, and wanted to kill the mouse and their whole group.When his mouse friends and family found out, they became furious, wanted to kill him, burn him. They decide to throw him in jail. In that jail he meets lots of other mice and different creatures who have been tortured. So do you think Despereaux will be able to escape from jail or will he stay there forever?

I wont give this book a thumbs up because I think it could have been a bit more descriptive. It was written in a very interesting way, like the author is reading the book to you which I really liked.
