I announced at the beginning of the month that I was participating in the Middle Grade Carousel Monthly Challenge. This month’s theme was cold-blooded animals. I decided to pick dragons for my cold-blooded creature. This classic has been on my shelves for awhile.
Princess Cimorene is bored of being a princess. So she runs away and becomes dragon’s princess to the mighty Kazul, a powerful dragon with green shining scales and sharp silver teeth. But Cimorene soon discovers that living with dragons isn’t always easy.
This was a great adventure tale for girls who don’t want to follow conventions. I think it was probably more revolutionary when it was written in the early 1990s. Today we have a lot more fantasy series with strong female leads. But, the story still stands the test of time.
