Handbook for Dragon Slayers

Merrie Haskell

3.67

When a bookish princess goes on the run, she discovers her inner strength—and a talent for slaying dragons—in this middle-grade fantasy adventure. Political upheaval sends thirteen-year-old 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 now the princess finds herself making friends with magical horses, facing the Wild Hunt, and pointing a sword at the fire-breathing creatures. While doing things she never imagined, Tilda finds qualities in herself she never knew she possessed.

Handbook for Dragon Slayers is a satisfying coming-of-age tale wrapped in a magical adventure story.
