A mouse, a rat, a princess, a servant girl-- all are in the same castle having very different experiences. The Tale of Despereaux tells how their individual stories intertwine in most unexpected ways. I myself was not a big fan of the emphasis placed on one of the (young, female) characters being repeatedly beaten, but this is a fairy tale, I suppose. The Newbery committee didn't seem to mind, so you should take their word for it.
