About This Book

When a fierce dragon destroys Princess Elizabeth's castle, burns all her clothes, and carries off Prince Ronald, she dons a paper bag and sets off to rescue him. Using her wits to outsmart the dragon, Elizabeth proves that bravery and cleverness matter far more than fancy clothes or a perfect prince.

Why We Love This

A brilliantly funny, empowering story that flips the fairy tale rescue on its head - kids cheer for Elizabeth every time, and the ending is absolutely perfect.
