Synopsis
Cimorene, the daughter of a very proper king, runs away and becomes the princess of a very powerful dragon, Kazul. “A decidedly diverting novel with plenty of action and many slightly skewed fairy-tale conventions that add to the laugh-out-loud reading pleasure and give the story a wide appeal.”—Booklist
School Library Journal
Gr 5-9This is a spirited reading of Patricia Wrede's novel (Harcourt, 1990). The story is acted out by a full cast, including Bruce Coville as two characters. This is a nice departure from the single narrator format used by most books on tape. Princess Cimorene, played by Johanna Elliott, is a strong-willed teenager who resents the dull, prissy life of a princess. She leaves home to avoid marrying a dim-witted prince and becomes the willing captive of Kazul, a cranky but good-hearted dragon. All the fairy tale cliches are heredragons, wizards, magic spellsand Wrede makes gentle fun of them while spinning out a delightful adventure. The deliberately anachronistic dialogue flows well, especially the parts of Cimorene and Alianora (played by Lana M. Quintal), who sound like typical 90's teenage girls. This combination of medieval fairy tale themes and modern teenage sarcasm will appeal to listeners of many ages. The wit and flow of the text make Dealing with Dragons a truly entertaining listen.-Peggy J. Latkovich, Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library, OH

September 13, 2009: It was really good and I liked it alot. I felt like I was there and that the caverns seemed real. Very absorbing - easy to lose yourself in the forest. I give it 5 stars.
