Summary: A Great Read for any ages
Review: This is a great book in my opinion. It is fairly short and pretty easy to read. Therefore you can read it in a day or so. Its also pretty funny. I found myself chortling every so often. And the most humerous part of it is that it makes recelations to other stuff. e.g. The book talks about a magic ring at one point and says "its not like those good rings that make you invisible or..." And you know it has to do with LOTR. It has other stuff like that too.The plot goes as follows: A young princess isnt like her sisters. Instead of long wavy gold hair she has raven black hair she likes to tie in a bow. To get away from marring a idiotic prince she decides to become a dragons prince (a dragon maid, cook, etc.). Which is highly unusual considering dragons usually have to kidnap princesses for that job. But she offered and even asked the princes who tried to rescue her to go away. The rest of the book goes through the young sable-hair princesses life as a dragons princess (but not boring whatsoever). There is a mixture of hilarous belivable characters throughout the book. But thats not all. There's a band of evil wizards who want to destroy all dragons... Can a young dragons princess figure out what their up to? There is three books following Dealing With Dragons all of which have the same set of characters with new ones added on each book. Their aways added little segments of action througout the books to keep the reader grasped. I recoment this book to lots of everyone unless you hate funny books that involve an Enchanted Forest and Princess who doesnt need protected and a female King Dragon. :)!

Summary: A Funny Fantasy
Review: This book by Patricia C. Wrede is an amazing fantasy 'princess' story that veers from the 'Anderson/Grimm' norm. Princess Cimorene was a black-haired tall princess who enjoyed reading, cooking, fencing, and 'non-girl' things. She was very unlike your typical youngest sunshine-blonde bashful beauty that princesses in fantasies often turn out to be. She was, however, not acceptable in this way at the palace, and, as she was to be married to an idiotic prince anyway, decided to leave the castle. She met a frog who pointed her in the right direction and eventually found her way to many adventures with a sensible purple dragon, an unwitchy witch, and many other delightful characters that will make you laugh and smile throughout the book. I could not put this book down because it was so delightfully entertaining. I had to go out and buy the other three and Ms. Wrede's short story collection, all of which I would also most definitely recommend! Buy this book right now! You will not regret it!

Summary: A dragon's princess
Review: This whole book is fantasy! It has dragons, wizards, witches and stone pirinces! The blurb on the back cover pulled me right in, "Take one bored princess, make her the seventh daughter in a very proper royal family, have her run away, add one powerful, fascinating, dangerous dragon." After each chapter, I felt like I had to keep reading and reading. The first chapter has the main character Cimorene talking to a frog! It already is reeling you in. And it just gets better and as you keep reading.
A princess named Cimorene is so sick of her boring life. Plus she has six perfect proper sisters. While Cimorene was out in the garden, she meets a talking frog who tells her to run away and when she sees a hovel walk straight up to the door, knock three times, snap her fingers then go inside. Cimorene takes the frog's advice and runs away. She does exactly what the frog tells her to do, but when she steps inside and it is pitch black every where she turned, and the door is shut behind her, things aren't looking too good for Cimorene princess of Linderwell.
I recommend this book to anyone who is into fantasy, but I think anyone would enjoy this book. I like books that start out with excitement, and keep you reading. A great book by Patrica C. Wrede.

Summary: Not your everyday princess...
Review: For those readers who are tired of the stereotypical fantasy princess who sits on her hands and waits for a prince to rescue her, Cimorene is a breath of fresh air. Cimorene is not the kind of princess her parents want her to be; she is bored by sewing, dancing and etiquette and wants to learn magic, cooking and swordsmanship. The final straw comes when her parents have arranged for her to marry. Instead she runs away. In Cimorene's world dragons often kidnap princesses, who then must be rescued by a daring prince. The dragons live in a massive network of caves in a mountain range, and their captive princesses get together to socialize and commiserate with each other, wondering when they will be rescued and by whom. Not Cimorene. She does the unthinkable: Cimorene volunteers to be a dragon's princess. Her offer is accepted by Kazul, a female dragon with an extensive library and treasure trove that need organizing. In time, Cimorene becomes a combination of cook, maid, secretary and close companion to Kazul. In between dissuading knights from rescuing her, organizing Kazul's belongings and cooking for dinner parties, Cimorene finds herself in the middle of foiling a plot to take over the throne of the dragons. She is aided in her efforts by the captured princess Alianora and a prince who has been partly turned to stone. At the end of the novel Cimorene delights the reader by defying their expectations and...well, I'm not going to spoil it for you. Dealing with Dragons is a pleasant surprise in that it has a somewhat feminist perspective: Cimorene wants to be who she is and do what she's interested in, never mind the fact that she's a girl. She is smart, independent and capable of handling her own problems. Not only that, the book has humor. Dealing with Dragons is a novel I have enjoyed more than any other novel I've read in quite awhile.

Summary: A Fantastic Fun Adventure
Review: This book is about a princess who doesn't like to be proper. So she goes and takes advice from a frog, and goes to a place far away. After listening to the frog she goes looking for a dragon. Once she got to a tavern full of dragons she thought maybe this isn't such a good idea. A yellowish-green dragon suggested that they eat her. But a grayish-purplish dragon takes her in as his princess. She stays there for about half a year with little problems along the way. But at the end??? If you want to find out what happens read the book Dealing with Dragons. I would recommend this book to people because it is very detailed. When it describes something it makes you feel like you're actually there. When a gust of wind comes you get blown away, or when a dragon breathes fire the room heats up. This book is fun because it keeps you guessing and on your toes. People who like adventure, mystery, and just reading should read this book. This book is set back in about the 1400's.

Summary: Dealing with Dragons
Review: Genre: Humor/ Fantasy This is a fairytale turned upside down. The main character, Princess Cimorene, hates being a princess so she runs away. She ends up as a dragon's princess, by her own will. And it's turning out pretty good being Kazul's (the dragon) princess, until the King of Dragons is killed by deathly dragonbane. With the help of a witch, a stone prince, a fellow dragon's princess and some buckets of soapy water, Princess Cimorene might just save the day.
These is a great story. It is pretty funny and you can't put it down. You will not miss the [money amount]you spent. I recommend this book for ages 9-13. It is a good summer pick reading. Reviewed by Tiger

Summary: A New Type of Princess
Review: This is a wonderfully written story that makes the traditional fairly tale princesses fall short. Cimorene is great new twist into the traditional world with her non-princess appearence and personality. She's got a tomboy attitude and she means business! Its a great story that will keep you wondering what this girl will do next. Once you've read the first book in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles you'll just have to keep reading them to see how else the story unfold. A great read for all ages!
