The Tale of Despereaux the Graphic Novel #[nn]

Adapted from the 2008 major motion picture, this graphic novel brings the beloved story of Despereaux to the comics page courtesy of writers and artists Matt Smith and David Tilton. The cover sets the adventurous tone beautifully: a brave little mouse in a green tunic and red cap charges forward wielding a needle-thin sword, while a golden-haired princess looks on from the castle ramparts behind him. Based on Kate DiCamillo's celebrated story, this is a charming all-ages read that brings real heart to the page.
