When Creel's aunt gives her to the local dragon, Creel thinks she's cooked. She manages to escape after talking the shoe-hoarding dragon into parting with his treasured blue slippers. Once free, Creel learns the slippers tether her to her kingdom's dragons. George tells Creel's story with a light touch, including unexpected, imaginative details. Headstrong Creel is a resourceful heroine.
