The Runaway Dragon

293 pp. | Farrar | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-36361-1 $16.99
(2) 4-6 When her dragon runs away, Princess Meg (The Runaway Princess), along with her loyal, mismatched compatriots, embarks on a quest to find him. She outwits a giant, saves a princess named Spinach, and challenges a petulant sorceress. Coombs's warm, witty story features droll humor, brisk plotting, and multidimensional characters. The tale works both as ironic send-up and earnest hero adventure.
