Publisher's Summary

Follow Princess Alexia as she and her brave dog, Zoey, embark on a mission to confront a fire-breathing dragon. She hopes to do what her father's soldiers could not, capture the dragon so another Ample Apple Orchard celebration would not be attacked and the land set ablaze.

When Princess Alexia faces her adversary, she is frightened, but her fears abate once she and Titus, the dragon, begin talking. Can she convince Titus to stop plaguing her father's kingdom, and will the festival be celebrated without fear of destruction?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I saved this quote for my review because it was so sweet.


“Princess Alexia loved the outdoors. Each day she would go to the courtyard to practice shooting her bow and arrows at targets set up. To please her mother, she wore a dress of a different color each day around the castle. But, if it was up to her, she would wear pants like the boys did around town so she could climb trees easier.”

Any additional comments?

The plot feels so empowering for young girls as Princess Alexia goes on a noble journey to protect her people from a fire breathing dragon. This fairytale is one of acceptance and great compassion.

My Grandson - 3 years old - can't get enough of this book. He loves the dragon who sounds like a pirate. As with K Meador's other children's book, the message is great and the illustrations beautiful.
