Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George

Synopsis: She wanted dragon gold.
She got a pair of shoes.
Many stories tell of damsels in distress, who are rescued from the clutches of fire-breathing dragons by knights in shining armor, and swept off to live happily ever after.
This is not one of those stories.
True, when Creel’s aunt suggests sacrificing her to the local dragon, it is with the hope that the knight will marry Creel and that everyone (aunt and family included) will benefit handsomely. Yet it’s Creel who talks her way out of the dragon’s clutches. And it’s Creel who walks for days on end to seek her fortune in the king’s city with only a bit of embroidery thread and a strange pair of slippers in her possession.
But even Creel could not have guessed the outcome of this tale. For in a country on the verge of war, Creel unknowingly possesses not just any pair of shoes, but a tool that could be used to save her kingdom…or destroy it.
My rating: I loved this book i reccomend it to 10 and up. I would rate this pg
Fun Fact: I met this Author, she is the cutest person ever! if you want to know about her other books they are Dragon flight, princess of the midnight ball, sun moon ice and snow, and soon to be coming Dragon Spear.
