2015 PB. Meet Princess Cimorene--a princess who refustes to be proper. She is everything a princess is not supposed to be: headstrong, tomobyish smart... And bored. So bored that she runs away to live with a dragon. And not just any dragon, but Kazul--one of the most powerful and dangerous dragons arounds. Of course, Cimorene has a way of hooking up with dangerous characters, and soon she's coping with a witch, a jinn, a death-dealing talking bird, a stone prince, and some very oily wizards. If this princess ran away to find some excitement, it looks like she's found plenty!
From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Such a fun read for a younger crowd! i mean, i enjoyed it as an adult haha but it is definitely geared towards those in the 10-14 range. I loved the playful use of a fairytale setting, but with the characters and plot poking fun at it."; "Well this was a pure delight. Exactly what my soul needed these days."
