Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Jeniece

Princess Cimorene grows up in a castle where girls must always be docile and agreeable.  Of course a girl especially a princess should absolutly not take fencing or magic lessons.  Cimorene rebels against this protocol and when about to be forced to marry a hair-brained prince she runs away.  There she meets Kazul, a dragon in need of a princess to tend to her.  All of a sudden Cimorene is doing many new things and is thrust into a world of adventure and magic.  This book is a great read.  This is a perfect book for girls in middle school because it presents a strong female character as the lead.  The story line is very interesting and for Cimorene being a dragon's princess is never boring.
