Cimorene is not a normal princess, not even CLOSE. No princesses take magic, fencing, Latin, cooking, and economics. Except Princess Cimorene, that is. She gives a whole new meaning to "improper."
Dealing With Dragons starts with Cimorene getting in trouble for taking lessons improper to being a princess. It keeps going from there with her running away from marrying Prince Therandil. She ends up finding some dragons and becomes one's princess. She sends princes and knights away, fights wizards and cooks and cleans for the dragons. It all goes well until the wizards think up a scam involving Tokoz, King of the Dragons.
I enjoyed the wonderful characters such as Morwen the witch, Kazul the dragon, and of course, Cimorene. The book has a funny twist of the wizards being the bad guys. I laughed out loud at the way they portrayed princesses.
The overall plot of this book was great. I would recommend this book based on humor and being improper. It has moral as well, discouraging peer pressure and teaching you to be yourself, not what others think you should be.
