Princess Cimorene, who is frustrated with life as a "proper" princess, runs away to become Dragon Kazul's princess. As a dragon's princess, she cooks and she organizes Kazul's library and treasure hoard. Cimorene loves this life even though she faces some nuisances (knights and princes) and challenges (wizards). But Cimorene rises to each challenge using her intelligence, bravery, wit, and logic.

A wonderful feminist fantasy. A great option for a family read-aloud.

I've read this (series) multiple times. The first time was when I was a kid. I revisit this book in particular when I need something funny and relaxed to read. Cimorene is a wonderful & strong character.

I certainly enjoyed this book - short, playful, and smart. I'll put it in the list of books and series to read to the kiddos in the future

This young adult fantasy tries to avoid the stereotypical gender tropes and lets the girls have an adventure. It's a fun read with a Princess who decides to become a dragon's princess because it's way more entertaining than being an actual princess. A female dragon trying to become dragon king to save her people. AND two princesses trying to help the dragons against their nemeses.
