Bored with traditional palace life, a princess goes off to live with a group of dragons and soon becomes involved with fighting against some disreputable wizards who want to steal away the dragons' kingdom.
jfoster_sf: This is another great fantasy that has a strong female character that refuses to conform to what everyone tells her is "proper". Ella Enchanted does have a romance in it (it IS a Cinderella retelling, after all) but its very innocent and is still appropriate for 10 and up readers.… (más)
fyrefly98: Both are send-up of fantasy conventions (and D-heavy titles!): Dealing with Dragons focuses more on fairy tales while Dark Lord of Derkholm deals more with high/quest fantasy.
buddingnaturalist: Both feature non-traditional princesses who take action and find creative ways solve their problems, rather than meekly submit to expectations.
"Dealing With Dragons" is such a fun combination of strong characters, goofs, magic, and action. I read this so many times as a young reader, and it is a keystone book on my shelves. I'm happy to say it has held up for me over the years and all the rereads! :) ( )

Great story of a princess not being a princess! My daughter (8) loved it, and begged for 'just one more chapter', which is always a good sign. We will be jumping right into the next one! ( )

Linderwall was a large kingdom, just east of the Mountains of Morning, where philosophers were highly respected and the number five was fashionable. The climate was unremarkable. The knights kept their armor brightly polished mainly for show -- it had been centuries since a dragon had come east. There were the usual periodic problems with royal children and uninvited fairy godmothers, but they were always the sort of thing that could be cleared up by finding the proper prince or princess to marry the unfortunate child a few years later. All in all, Linderwall was a very prosperous and pleasant place. Cimorene hated it.

"Happily every after? I don't think it's quite what you meant, Alianora," Cimerone murmured to the empty tunnel, "but one way or another, I rather think I will."
