4.0

Cute, smart, funny book about an independent, adventurous, headstrong princess who decides to go find a dragon to keep her rather than constantly struggle against the pressures her parents and society push on her about what princesses are supposed to be. 
Unlike a lot of other books about girls who rebel against feminine roles, however, Cimorene doesn’t come from a rash, bitter place. She tries to reason with the people around her when she feels their rules don’t make sense, but she frequently has to find a way for herself with her wits and determination.
