The Runaway Princess

279 pp. | Farrar | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-374-35546-0 $17.00
(2) 4-6 A young princess conspires to nullify a contest for her hand in marriage by rescuing the dragon, witch, and bandits named in the challenge--despite the horde of determined princes that stand in her way. With a wry humor that embraces modern sensibilities but sidesteps anachronisms, this delightfully devious girl-power fantasy cheerfully undercuts every fairy-tale convention it encounters.
