Sebastian (the werewolf’s) reviews:
this book is about a rat, a mouse who is different, and a slave girl who wants to become a princess.
role models: Despereaux is very brave and loyal. the princess in the story is very kind to everyone even if they are doing bad things to her.
good messages: when Despereaux’s dad knows he did something wrong he apologises and asks for forgiveness the first moment he can.
violence: one of the main characters gets there tail cut off. i would hate to have my tail cut off!
