What can bring a mouse with exceptionally large ears,a rat who longs for a world of light,a lonely serving girl with a simple, impossible wish, and a princess with a dead mother?

Spoiler alert!(Take a sneak peek if you haven't read it!)

Despereaux did not want to go to the dungeon but he was forced to go.

Roscuro wanted a world full of light but Botocelli did not want that for him so he made sure that he did not want to see the light. He made sure that Roscuro would want to stay in the dungeon forever.

Miggery wanted to be a princess but people kept telling her that she could not be one so she... locked the princess up in a dungeon and tried to take her place! She had a little help from Roscuro.
