Dragon Slippers

Dragon Slippers

By Jessica Day George

This book is funny, entertaining, and fun all the way! I recommend it. It's about dragons, but with a little twist. Creel is an orphan who lives in the town of Carlieff in a kingdom called Ferevel. She and her brother live with their aunt and uncle, who are very poor. Creel's aunt reads fairy tales, and comes up with an idea to escape poverty: sacrifice Creel to a dragon. A knight will rescue her, and Creel's whole family will be sent to live in the palace. Creel is sacrificed to the Brown Dragon of Carlieff, but she doesn't want to wait for a knight to rescue her. So she bargains with the dragon, who's name is Theoradus, and tells him that if he doesn't let her go, he'll have to fight a knight, which he has no interest in doing. He lets her go, and lets her pick a "treasure" from his hoard. Except Theoradus doesn't collect gold--he collects shoes! The only pair that fit Creel are bright blue ones, which Theoradus has no intention of giving her. Creel reminds Theoradus that he said she could pick any shoes she liked, and goes on her way. She doesn't go home, though--she embarks on a long and tiring journey from Carlieff to the King's Seat, where she hopes to find a job as a dressmaker. Along her journey, she befriends another dragon named Shardas, who rescues her from bandits. She also meets Shardas's friend, Feniul. When Creel finally arrives in the King's Seat, she runs into snobby Amalia, the princess of the neighboring kingdom, Roulain, and her dog, Pippin. She is engaged to the crown prince Milun. Later on, Creel meets Milun's brother, Luka, and his bodyguard, Tobin. Luka takes Creel to an inn run by Tobin's sister, Ulfrid. The next day, Ulfrid takes Creel to a dressmaking shop owned by a lady named Derda, where Creel makes new friends: Marta, Alle, and Larkin. Unfortunately, Larkin doesn't turn out to be very nice. When Creel hears about the Merchant's Ball, she decides to go in pursuit of opening her own dress shop. But it isn't long before Larkin steals Creel's slippers and gives them to Princess Amalia, who has been pestering Creel for them. In return, Amalia gives Creel a crazy, over-designed dress. Creel is able to make the dress look better, but learns a wonderful and terrible secret about the slippers: they have the power to--WAIT! I'm not gonna spoil this story. It's a wonderful book, but it does have the teensiest bit of swearing. No curse words, though. This is probably my second favorite book. My favorite book is Keeper of the Lost Cities, which I also recommend.

BONE #4: Dragonslayer

BONE #4: Dragonslayer

By Jeff Smith

This book is my favorite of the series. In this book Phony bone gets greedy and tells the townspeople he will be there dragonslayer if they pay him which is a horrible idea because the dragons are harmless.

Ella Enchanted (Newbery Honor Book)

Ella Enchanted (Newbery Honor Book)

By Gail Carson Levine

Based on Cinderella, this story has a big difference. More twists and turns! Ella never wanted to be cursed. Cursed to be obedient, that is. You're probably wanting to know how it started. Well, this gift-giver-lover fairy, Lucinda, gave her it when she was first born. Lucinda didn't know how bad the curse would be. The curse effected the way she acted to Prince Charmont. It gets worse when her mother dies. I totally do not like this part. When I read it, I freaked out. It gets even worse when her father marries Dame Olga. Hattie and Olive, two bossy sisters, become Ella's sister. But at the ball, when Hattie reveals who Ella is, Ella takes off. She was suppose to be ''Lela''. That's because Char was not suppose to know her identity. Suddenly, Char demands to see her, so he lines everyone outside. When he finds Ella, the ordering is extreme. Gail Carson Levine made this book more magical then the original Cinderella. This book totally deserved to win a Newbery Honer.

Tomorrow, When the War Began (The  Tomorrow Series)

Tomorrow, When the War Began (The Tomorrow Series)

By John Marsden

Meisha

Tomorrow when the war began Have you ever come back to a place where everything has gone horribly wrong? Seven teenagers go out camping to a place named hell (aka Tailor’s Stitch) and come back too see their houses destroyed, their pets sick and families gone. Tomorrow when the war began is a sad, adventurous, frightening, and romantic. A small town in Victoria, Australia going into war after seven teenagers Ellie, Lee, Homer, Fiona (Fi), Robyn, Kevin and Corrie go camping. Ellie as the narrator tells her views of perspective and describes the characters/friends. Lee takkam is a very active and strong person and he finds himself in a relationship with Ellie. Corrie Mackenzie is Ellie’s best friend and suggested to go camping first, she is very optimistic about them coming home safely. Kevin Holmes shows himself as a tough guy and tries to be the hero in tough situations. Robyn Mathers is the leader of one of the groups with Corrie, Chris and Kevin. Chris Lang comes later in the book and is Ellie’s cousin he decides to join the group after his parents are in Ireland. Lastly Homer is known as a bad boy by the group he tries to take over the group and knows what to do in a troubled situation. My personal opinion about the book is that there were some chapter that I wasn’t interested in and I thought were a bit boring and then there were the drama and romance that drew my attention. I’d recommend the book to people, as it is very exciting. People who like books like the Hunger Games must read this because it is very similar. The romance, the adventure and the genres are all a like. The Genres of this book is adventure fiction, romance fiction, utopian and dystopian fiction and young adult fiction. The small Wirrawee town becomes invaded by an army of soldiers and becomes mayhem (utopian and dystopian fiction). The seven teenagers find love in a camping site named hell, as they are all alone (Young adult and romance fiction). As they come back and try to plan attacks and blow-ups near the soldiers (adventure fiction). John Marsden put the main character (Ellie) as the narrator because the story wouldn’t be the same if it were he. The story runs on Ellie’s thoughts and opinions. Which makes the book much better. Author: John Marsden Rating: 2.5/5
