Dragon Slippers

Dragon Slippers, by Jessica Day George, is a charming story about a poor farm girl named Creel. Creel's aunt sends her to a dragon cave that is believed to be abandoned for millions of years. They are hoping a rich, charming prince will save Creel and Creel's family will inherit tons of money, although that's not quite how it goes. Creel bargains with the dragon, who is alive and spry as ever. They soon become friends, and she gets a pair of slippers from his hoard. ( Yes, he is a dragon that collects shoes!) The curious blue slippers lead her into the bustling city, the King's Seat. She makes friends, enemies, and meets the prince on countless occasions. This book is full of great characters, amazing writing, and a creative story line as Creel struggles to save the whole dragon and human race. But in the end it comes down to who she trusts and who she doesn't... This is a must read. I could barely put it down!!
