" I grew up watching the movie when I was younger, so I decided to read the book. And I enjoyed it for the most part. But it was hard to get through. I'm sure it was just the style of writing back then, but everything had so many details. I think details are great and make stories enjoyable, but this book detailed literally everything. I'm just not very interested to know every piece of information about a rat's family for a whole chapter. I know it emphasizes how caring and genuine Sara is, but it bore me. However, when the story was lively and had interesting dialogue and plots going on, it was a great book. I think there are some really great messages in the story. It really emphasizes imagination and how wonderful it can be. It also focuses on behaving like a princess no matter what. Even though I'm older than Sara, I'm going to try to remember these two things and behave like a caring princess towards others. "
