Like Gail Carson Levine's books, Merrie Haskell's middle grade fantasy adventure Handbook for Dragon Slayers mixes magic, mythical creatures, thrilling action, and a wonderful cast of characters.
Political upheaval sends Princess Tilda fleeing from her kingdom in the company of two hopeful dragon slayers. The princess never had any interest in chasing dragons. The pain from her crippled foot was too great, and her dream was to write a book. But the princess finds herself making friends with magical horses, facing the Wild Hunt, and pointing a sword at fire-breathing dragons. While doing things she never imagined, Tilda finds qualities in herself she never knew she possessed.
Handbook for Dragon Slayers is a deeply satisfying coming-of-age tale wrapped in a magical adventure story.
About the Author: Merrie Haskell wrote her first story at the age of seven, and she walked dogs after school in order to buy her first typewriter. She now lives in Saline, Michigan, with her husband and stepdaughter and works in a library with over 7 million books, which she finds to be just about the right number. She is the author of The Princess Curse and Handbook for Dragon Slayers. Find her online at www.merriehaskell.com or on Twitter (@merriehaskell).
