Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George: Book Review

Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George

Creel's life was happy. At least it used to be. She used to have parents but they both died from sickness. Now it is her aunt's duty to take care of her and her near poverty family. Unfortunately, her aunt does not always have the best "Get Rich Quick" ideas. True, when her aunt suggested that Creel be sacrificed to the local dragon it was in hopes that a great knight would come, save her, marry her, and benefit the family greatly. Yet Creel bravely talks her way out of the dragons clutches. And again it is Creel who goes on her way to the King's Seat to seek her fortune with only spare embroidery thread and a pair of strange slippers. But even Creel would never have guessed the outcome of holding possession of these strange shoes. What's so strange about the shoes? Read Dragon Slippers to find out.
