In the charming fictional novel, Dealing with Dragons, the main protagonist, Cimorene, is a princess in the kingdom of Linderwall. Unlike most princesses, Cimorene refuses to be proper. She is bored with most princess activities and prefers subjects along the lines of fencing, cooking, Latin, and magic. Cimorene finds ways to tolerate her life until she discovers her parents arranged marriage for her. Upon this news and the realization she cant stop it, she runs away to become a dragon's princess. With her thrilling life change, she gets a little more adventure than she bargains for.
I found this book to be enjoyable but it struggled to grab my attention right away. The book had a slow beginning I feel was due to it being aimed at small children. Despite it's tedious start, it eventually grabbed my attention with the promise of dragons and adventure. I would recommend this book to young children and anyone with the heart of a child who loves fantasy books.
