Have you ever wondered about creatures beyond our knowledge? Would you have the courage to approach a particularly deadly creature? Could you bear to be left to die by your aunt? Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George features all of these questions and even has some new ones. Filled with snooty princesses, deadly dragons and fancy embroidery, this book is gold!
Creelisel Calburn has lived with her Aunt and Uncle with her brother Hagen and all of her cousins since her parents died. With Creel's aunt being "dumber than two turnips in a rain barrel", she leaves Creel outside the lair of their town's dragon, hoping that the Prince will come and take Creel and her family to live in the castle. When Creel is captured, she bargains her way her way out of certain death by warding off an unpleasant visit by the Prince in return for a token from the dragon's hoard. Creel hopes to receive a goblet or something gold, only to find that each dragon collects something different. She then must choose a pair of slippers. Unknown to Creel at first, the shoes she has chosen are unlike any other pair because they have special powers. After living and working in the King's Seat, the slippers fall into the wrong hands-Princess Amalia's, beginning the first Dragon War. Can Creel rescue her slippers and save the dragons before it's too late?
I love this book because I personally love dragons and fantasy. Jessica Day George has such a unique way of putting thoughts and actions into words that you feel everything that Creel feels. If you like medieval times, castles, and fantasy creatures, this is definitely the book for you.
Will Creel survive the Dragon War? Can she keep her human and dragon friends safe, or will she have to choose between the two. Go find Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George, read it, and you'll be itching to read more.
