Cat tried to read this book when she was about 8 and couldn't stand it. Everyone else she knew loved it, though, so when 'thene suggested she read it for this project, she didn't complain (too much). And it turned out she loved it just as much as anybody else and thoroughly appreciates 'thene's perseverence in getting her to read it! Its a great book. Go read it.
Patricia C. Wrede has written many wonderful works, including The Enchanted Forest Chronicles.
In Dealing with Dragons, Princess Cimorene is bored with being a princess. So she runs away from home and ends up becoming a dragon's princess. This book is full of dragons, princesses, wizards, a witch named Morwen, and even a jinn.
Athene thinks that this series is one of the best fantasy series out there! She loves the strong female characters, especially Princess Cimorene, and the exciting world of the Enchanted Forest.
