Dealing with Dragons
Dealing with Dragons | Patricia C Wrede
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 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! With a new look and new introduction from the author."

Catch up the first.

I loved this book, absolutely adored it. I wish I‘d read it as a kid and I can‘t wait for kiddo to read it. But she‘ll have to wait until I finish the quartet because otherwise we‘ll be fighting over them! Cimorene is a great hero and Kazul the dragon is awesome. I hope to finish the remaining three this month.

Clare-Dragonfly I should reread these books! I only remember them very vaguely so they‘d be almost new to me. But I am sure I loved them. 3mo

I have to say, I will learn to cook if I can be a princess for a dragon. Anyways, I loved this book with every fiber of my being. Only once did I despair at the sheer volume of knights coming to the rescue. Fortunately that wasn‘t permanent

I felt like a kid again when I sat down and read this in a day. An amazing MG book about a princess who is supposed to do "proper" princess things.... being dragon's princess technically counts as proper princess things. Cimorene gets caught up in the politics of the dragons and must uncover a conspiracy about the wizards meddling in the affairs of the dragons. #fantasy #middlegrade #dragons

Loving this middle grade book which has a princess who is hell bent on busting all social conventions.

TheAromaofBooks This is one of my favorite series!!! 3y
Smarkies @TheAromaofBooks I am really looking forward to finishing off the rest of the books in the coming months. 😄 3y
TheAromaofBooks One side note is that she actually wrote the fourth (final) book first... so it does feel different in tone/style than the first three books that are basically prequels to her original story haha It threw me a little the first time I read them because I didn't enjoy the last book quite as much - but it makes more sense when you realize the published order is different than the chronological order. 3y
Smarkies @TheAromaofBooks good to know! 👌 3y

“He doesn‘t seem very impressed,” Cimorene commented in some amusement.

“Why should he be?” Kazul said.

“Well, you‘re a dragon,” Cimorene answered, a little taken aback.

“What difference does that make to a cat?”

“Yes, yes, but that has nothing to do with it,” Kazul said a little testily. “‘King‘ is the name of the job. It doesn‘t matter who holds it.”

Cimorene stopped and thought for a moment. “You mean that dragons don‘t care whether their king is male or female; the title is the same no matter who the ruler is.”

“That‘s right...”

Cimorene doesn't want to be a regular princess. She would much rather live among the dragons than sit in a castle all day sewing. In this hilarious tale, Cimorene embarks on an adventure to become a dragon's princess.

This is the perfect introductory book to the fantasy genre. Suitable for young readers and teens.

“Well, I'm not a proper princess, then,“ Cimorene snapped. “I make cherries jubilee, and I volunteer for dragons, and I conjugate Latin verbs- or at least I would if anyone would let me. So there!“
“Now, Princess, if you'll come this way, I'll get you settled in.“

Dealing with Dragons | Patricia C. Wrede

I read a little into the second chapter, and she finds her way into a hovel with many dragons. I thought it was very brave of her to convince Kazul to take her on as the dragon princess to cook and organize the treasure rooms for them. It is more interesting for her than the proper princess stuff anyways.

review

Dealing with Dragons | Patricia C. Wrede

After reading the back of the book, I think I would like it because princess Cimorene is not a normal princess. She runs away to live with Kazul, the most dangerous and powerful dragon around. In the first chapter, she hates being a princess and doing princess things. Her parents do not let her learn magic. She finds out that her parents plan to marry her with a prince who is not very smart so she takes advice from a talking frog and runs away.

Sunraven @Nute: A close-knit community of devoted readers is a beautiful thing! And so is the series. 😆 Though I admit I sometimes skip Talking to Dragons in my re-reads, since it was actually written before the others despite being the final book in the internal chronology, and I don‘t think it has the same sparkle. 5y

I always seem to be a day behind on these!!

1. Honestly, probably Anne of Green Gables, but I have a huge soft spot for the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, which are just so funny.
2. Does horseradish count?? At a church dinner a long time ago they had delicious strawberry jello & I put a big dollop of what I thought was whipped cream on it - only to find out it was horseradish!!
3. Spiders!

I loved this! The characters were so interesting - I love a fiery princess who knows what she wants. It's well written and entertaining. I did the audio book and normally a full cast of characters makes things confusing for me, but this was so well done. Looking forward to reading more in the series.

“No proper princess would come out looking for dragons," Woraug objected.

"Well I'm not a proper princess then!" Cimorene snapped. "I make cherries jubillee and I volunteer for dragons, and I conjugate Latin verbs-- or at least I would if anyone would let me. So there!”

I‘ve had this book on my tbr list for a really long time, and I can‘t believe it‘s taken me this long to read it because I loved it and I need to read the rest of the series.

Alright I accidentally fell into rereading the whole series instead of just one. But how could one resist a book about being a dragons princess, discovering and unraveling wizards plots, and using dumb men's assumptions about women against them?
Not to mention Kazul's library! Talk about dream collections!

Also, I‘ve never been able to come up with a literary tattoo that would be meaningful enough to *me* personally, but this might change that. I mean, just picture the wooden sign from Morwen‘s porch, maybe on a bicep or a shoulder blade: NONE OF THIS NONSENSE, PLEASE

mrsh62010 I don't know the references but i love this idea. I tattooed "NO" on my ring finger after my 2nd divorce and it's done more for me than remind me not to get into another miserable marriage... It also reminds me of my ability to just say no, no thanks, not for me, I don't want to... Any time i want!! So I think your idea would be great to let yourself and others know you'll have none of that nonsense! 6y

This is a middle grade fantasy about a princess who doesn't like to do the things you're supposed to do as a princess so she goes and becomes a dragon's princess. She has to fend off knights trying to rescue her and wizards causing mischief.

It's a really cute and clever book that I enjoyed quite a bit. A very quick read - something I wish I had found when I was younger! Good thing I can still appreciate kid's books now 😊

As with many of these prompts, my knee jerk reaction is to call out the Anne of Green Gables series as my #happyreads. But in the spirit of mixing things up, I picked some other childhood favorites that really deserve some love. I adore this series, which starts with a princess who voluntarily runs away to work for a dragon, and chases off all the men who try to rescue her. It makes me happy every time I revisit it. #marchintoreading

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @Leniverse First, in answer to your query: In fourth grade this book was my world. The text might be dense for a young reader, but any age kid can enjoy the gorgeous art. Second: OH YOU MUST TRACK THIS BOOK DOWN. Google it and look at the pictures. Full painted illustrations on every... 7y
BoldCityBooks Dealing with Dragons is one of the best young fantasy novels ever written. (IMO). And Dinotopia just rocks. I used to have the computer game also. 7y

BoldCityBooks And I used to be a fanatic about Wayside School books. I simply had to get them all. As soon as I got a new one, I devoured it! 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk @Leniverse page. A dad and his son are shipwrecked on an island where dinosaurs and people live peacefully together. Dinosaurs can communicate through signs and written language. The first book is really a travelogue across the island with no real antagonist, and it really focuses on the ins and outs of how the society works. The second is more action/adventure. 7y
Leniverse I can tell even without looking up the images that I must track this Dino-book down. And there's two books, you say? Happy days! 😁 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk @Leniverse 4 big fully illustrated books by James Gurney, 16 middle grades books set in the world by different authors about different characters, 2 adult novels!!! 7y
