I adored this Newbery Award winner book by Kate DiCamillo. I read it as a read aloud every year I taught. It features three stories: a mouse in love with a princess, a mean rat plotting revenge on the princess, and a poor serving girl. Their stories weave together brilliantly to tell a tale of betrayal and redemption. The theme of good and evil and the struggle between light and dark is one that is familiar to students and it makes this very fun to teach, with the Harry Potter or Star Wars comparisons.
