DiCamillo weaves a contemporary fairy tale about Despereaux, a very atypical mouse who loves to read and can't learn to cower. Each section of the book is told from a different character's perspective. Despereaux seeks for true love and questions whether he will ever get his "happily ever after." This book is just as much about dark and evil as light and good; they intertwine to create a unique adventure.
