Creel is an unusual girl who throws herself into the line of duty for her country along with the forces of dragons. It is a funny, action-packed novel by the author of Dragon Slippers.
Creel is an unusual girl who enjoys action rather than the sedentary life of a seamstress.
She is called to action when she learns that the neighboring country is training dragons for an invasion of her country. Creel joins forces with the Prince and some old dragon friends to combat the forces of evil.
The story unfolds with constant changes of pace and uncertainty that will keep the reader on the seat of their chairs. They will also find their stomachs in their throat as they accompany the main characters in the flight during the dragon’s aerial encounters.
The author has written a very entertaining story that will enthrall fantasy readers. It will also give readers a good picture of a character that puts aside personal gain and works for the betterment of the entire country and the upholding of peace and prosperity.
This is a very well written book that would make a good addition to any middle school or elementary school library. It is also recommended for our Books of Note. LM
