4.0

This is a fun read for anyone who's ever thought princesses getting rescued is stupid. The main character is my kinda girl--intelligent, inquisitive, and capable. The rest of the cast is great too. There's an adorable dragon and a half-dwarf blacksmith girl with a giant hammer (and boy does she know how to swing that thing), and lots of character growth (but not in the serious boring kind of way). This should be required reading for all twelve year olds, everywhere.

(Oh, and there are fun nods to Wonder Woman, Xena, and other "woman warrior" cultural icons, too.)
