This was a decent little graphic novel adapted from the movie of the same name. It's been so long since I saw the movie that I can't remember if the story was the same or not. I read the novel a few years ago as well, but I'd need to read it again before making any comparisons. Anyway, it's a decent, short read, with a good story and it would seem to be a great introduction to the brave, little mouse, Despereaux.
