Princess Ivy and Elridge the dragon (Ivy's Ever After) must save the kingdom from a raging giantess. Jack (of beanstalk fame) stole the giantess's singing harp nearly a thousand years before, and Ivy has to find it in order to restore peace. The story's bright and entertaining characters make this a satisfying romp through a fairy-tale world.

A generations-old treaty lands fourteen-year-old Princess Ivy in a tower to await a prince who can slay the dragon that guards it. Disliking the arrangement, plucky Ivy befriends the unusually shy dragon and chooses to battle the status quo. Supporting characters including a fairy godmother, some quirky relatives, and conniving villains round out the story.
