Cimorene is of a sisterhood that includes Menolly, the dragonsinger of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonsong and Avi’s Morwenna of Bright Shadow, but Wrede’s delightful voice is all her own.”- School Library Journal (starred review). “The story is full of excitement, sly references to the staples of fantasy and fairy tales, and good humor. This updated edition features a new introduction by the author. But fear not! Our intrepid heroine has just what it takes to keep her dragon, Kazul, safe and happy, while learning to fireproof herself, organize the treasure trove, and stay free from the clutches of pesky princes. And what she finds in her chosen career as a dragon’s princess is sometimes more than she can handle.
She is quite sure that there’s more to the world than curtseying and courting. The traditional duties of a princess fail to please Cimorene, the daughter of a very proper king. Meet the princess who rescues herself and the female dragon who would be king in this first fantasy adventure in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles.
