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
Gr 5-9-A feisty princess with a mind of her own shuns regal training and protocol, preferring to volunteer herself as a dragon's servant and companion. It's a spirited, rollicking story with clever fairy tale references subtly tied to elements of magic, wizardry, and the satisfying triumph of good over evil. (Dec. 1990)

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.

June 23, 2009: This is a very simply written book. Very easy to read. I would definately recommend for teens and even older children. It is really a great story and I found myself not being able to put the book down at times. The characters are wonderful and the story line is very well thought up and put together.
