After glancing at the cover of this book, I immediately felt an impulse to read it. And then I opened it up, and read the first sentence:It was my aunt who decided to give me to the dragon.
Ooh, I thought, EVIL aunt. But wait--the second sentence:
Not that she was evil, or didn't care for me.
Okay, that hooked me. And I stayed hooked for the whole book.
In Dragon Slippers, Creel Carlbrun is a poor peasant girl who wants to make her way in the world using her talents for sewing and embroidery. But when her aunt decides to give her to a dragon, and said dragon in turn gives her a pair of unusual shoes . . . things get a little complicated.
This book is pure fun. Filled with magic, friendship and a whole lot of dragons, it personifies the perfect fantasy adventure tale. One thing that's fun about this book is that it's a children's book (not YA) with a 16 year old as the protagonist. I'm 16, I love children's books, and when a character is my age it can add to my enjoyment of it. Dragon Slippers is a fabulous book - don't miss it!
