Publisher's Summary

Take one bored princess. Make her the seventh daughter in a very proper royal family. Have her run away.

Add one powerful, fascinating, dangerous dragon.

Princess Cimerone has never met anyone (or anything) like the dragon Kazul. But then, she's never met a witch, a jinn, a death-dealing talking bird or a stone prince either.

Princess Cimerone ran away to find some excitement.

She's found plenty.

What the critics say

"A decidedly diverting novel with plenty of action and many slightly skewed fairy-tale conventions that add to the laugh-out-loud pleasure." (Booklist)
"A wonderful listen for the entire family." (AudioFile)

fun funny family fantasy

This book and series is a true classic. multiple voices make a great story even better. Imaginative, fun- something the whole family will enjoy. Great for road trips.

20 years later and still great

As good as I remembered it, and the voice acting is on point across the board.

An irreverent take on the classic fairy tales

I absolutely love this story and this series. Strong female characters abound and logic prevails in this wonderful take on the classic fairy tales. The performance is wonderful and enhances the story wonderfully.

Great story, disappointing audiobook

I realize this book is intended for young audiences, but I was picturing something a little less ridiculous.
