After her aunt totes her out to the local dragon in desperation (with the hope that the local prince will rescue her from certain death and marry her), Creel refuses the haughty prince and finds friendship with the dragons, who set her on a journey to the center of the kingdom with a pretty pair of what only <i>seem</i> to be ordinary slippers. Along the way we discover Creel's enormous talent at embroidery, and you can't help but linger over the rich descriptions of her lovely tapestry-like gowns, which quickly make her the most sought-after dressmaker in the kingdom. But soon enough those mysterious slippers begin to wreak havoc, and it's up to Creel to save the kingdom from disaster and defend the dragons from certain doom. Creel's feisty spirit breathes fiery new life into this epic world at every turn, making this one of the most memorable and fun fantasy debuts to hit shelves since Cornelia Funke's <I>Inkheart</I>.<BR/><BR/> 655608 20 3 2007 Dragon Slippers total:1661|5:730|4:668|3:238|2:22|1:3| 1661 7083 2379 539 5 4 false false Sun Feb 10 11:03:25 -0800 2008 Thu May 01 12:24:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Sat Mar 08 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 22 19:51:39 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 08 20:45:26 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Dec 21 12:43:10 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 13:12:27 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 22:36:00 -0800 2008 Tue Sep 23 11:49:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sun Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 31 22:06:39 -0800 2008 Sun Aug 10 18:46:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Oct 21 19:31:02 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 21 19:31:33 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 13:30:49 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 23 18:20:01 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Apr 02 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Feb 26 19:09:14 -0800 2008 Wed Apr 02 17:48:44 -0700 2008
