Dealing with Dragons: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Book One (Enchanted Forest Chronicles, 1)
Meet Princess Cimorene--a princess who refustes to be proper. She is everything a princess is not supposed to be: headstrong, tomobyish smart...
And bored.
So bored that she runs away to live with a dragon. And not just any dragon, but Kazul--one of the most powerful and dangerous dragons arounds. Of course, Cimorene has a way of hooking up with dangerous characters, and soon she's coping with a witch,a a jinn, a death-dealing talking bird, a stone prince, and some very oily wizards.
If this princess ran away to find some excitement, it looks like she's found plenty! With a new look and new introduction from the author.

Dealing with Dragons is, for the most part, a parody of all the classic fantasy/fable tropes and it gives major shrek vibes but it came out before shrek so this is, i guess, the mother of shrek... so anyway, of course i loved it. i'm in a reading slump at the moment, but pls know that though it took me three weeks to finish this, this book is bomb. so witty and silly. it shocks me that this isn't a more well-known classic in children's fantasy/fiction (at least not from what i've seen). if you're in need of a quick and easy read, please pick this up. it's a hoot.
This was such an enjoyable read. I checked it out of the library for my daughter to read, but ended up pinching it to read myself. I found myself sniggering away in the same way my teenage-self chuckled along with Terry Pratchett. I’ve read many reviews referring to Harry Potter, but to me this is Discworld genre done well.
