Book Review: just a good book
Summary: 4 Stars

Dealing with Dragons is about princess Cimorene whose parents arranged her to marry the dullest man, Prince Therandil. Her lady-in-waiting had told her so Cimorene wined that would rather be eaten by a dragon than marry Therandil. A frog told Cimorene that she could be eaten eaten by a dragon. The frog told her the way to the dragons. Cimorene was really desperate and followed the frog's advice. After endless walking she finally arrived at the dragon Kazul's cave where she meets the dragon. Together they had an adventure fighting away bad wizard, finding mysteries and many other things. The main characters of the story are Cimorene and Kazul. They are also my favorites because Cimorene is a girl and acts like a boy, and Kazul who is the nicest dragon I know so far. This story is an interesting book I have read and extremely fun to read.

Dealing with Dragons reminds me how my sisters and I were at the dinner table when my mother went out for a minute to phone somebody. We decided that this was our chance to act like pigs, to slobber our food in our mouths, to eat with our hands or with our mouths on the plates. We had so much fun; we didn't notice my mother coming in. Her mouth fell open; we were caught in act. Our mother became upset and said that it was uncivilized. In Dealing with Dragon Cimorene wanted to sword fight, cook, to do magic, but her mother caught her and told her it was improper. We don't always want to be proper we just want to have fun. Can't we fulfill our dreams even when we are not proper or civilized

Dealing with Dragons is very interesting and funny. I did not like the book - I loved it. My favorite parts were when Cimorene murmured, "I'd rather be eaten by a dragon" and when Cimorene was looking for a plant called feverfew with her friend Alianora. I also liked when Cimorene and her friend saw the wizard Antorell who was picking a purple plant called Dragons bane. Dragonsbane is deadly to the dragon. When Cimorene finds out what the wizard are up to it is very mysterious. The book doesn't have any parts I dislike, but if I could change something, it would be that the wizard's son Antorell fell in love with Cimorene. That would make the book more interesting and even funnier.

I recommend Dealing with Dragons because I really had fun reading it, and I want other people to have laugh and have fun with this book. My sister recommended Dealing with Dragons to me, and She was right. It was fun to read and extremely interesting (it even had some cliffhangers). I am also recommending Dealing with Dragons because it has fantasy a bit like The Never Ending Story. Dealing with Dragons has alot of action and many weird or Ironic fairy tales.
People who like wizardry stories, mysteries, action and fantasy will love this book, just like I do. Dealing with Dragons is a good fantasy book, a good guidebook how on to act with dragons most important a book that explains not to be eaten by a dragon.

Summary of Dealing with Dragons (Enchanted Forest Chronicles)

While the characters are sometimes simplistically drawn, adults and children will have fun tracing the sources of the various fairy tales Wrede plunders for her story. Dealing with Dragons is the first book in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, and most young readers will want to devour the entire series. (Ages 10 and older) --Claire Dederer
