 rating: 4 of 5 stars I read this a looooong time ago, way back in 3rd grade, almost 4 years ago, recommended to me by my teacher, and I found it quite enjoyable. Let's see how much I remember... correct me if I get anything wrong.
 
 A cute fairy tale about a mouse that falls in love with a princess, and then is rejected by his fellow mice, banished to the dungeon. There he meets a rat, Rosco or something like that, a rat that wants to see the light, the complete opposite of his rat friends, and I forget what happens after that. I know they meet the father of the princess wannabe Miggery Sow, and had sold his daughter for a chicken, I know, and a red tablecloth or something like that. =S I also remember a dungeon keeper, with string or something so he wouldn't get lost in the dungeons, or maybe that was the rats, but that's about all I remember.
 
 In 5th grade one of the Language Arts classes in my grade was reading this book as a group. Most of them didn't like it, so beware, it my not be as enchanting as when you're younger, or maybe that was just them, but that's why I was afraid to reread it and then review.
 
 I definitely recommend it to anywhere from 6 to 9, I'm planning to read it to my 5 year old sister and see if she gets it, but all in all, an adorable book that, although 300 pages, is a very quick read. The chapters are extremely short and the print is quite large, but no matter.
