Creelisel Carlbrun is surprised one day when her aunt says
that she will be left outside a dragon’s cave, in hope that a rich knight will
rescue and marry her, making the poor farm family wealthy.
Creel bargains with the dragon that he will
let her go with something from his hoard, on the condition that she will ensure
that the dragon will not have the bother of fighting any knight that was sent
to rescue her. Theoradus, the dragon, agrees
to the deal. Creel picks out some pretty
blue shoes, unbeknownst to her that they were magical. Creel leaves the dragon and heads to the city
of Kings Seat, where she hopes to be employed as seamstress.
One morning, Creel awakes to find that her beautiful, blue
slippers have been stolen! She is sure
that they were taken by Princess Amalia- but why?
Creel and her new friend band together to get the slippers
back, not knowing what a big adventure it will be.
I really liked this book because it was magic mixed with adventure
and dragons and I like reading about all of those. The way the author wrote it was brilliant and
I never could guess what would happen next-the only way to find out was by turning
the page!
