I loved this series in middle school and would highly recommend it as a fun leisure read for children in that age bracket.

I found this book funny with moderate interest. Only read this book if you are looking for some extremely light reading!
Hilarious 2007-12-30
The book is truly hilarious. Even though it is part of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, the book can be read on its own. This is a book that is meant to be humorous and entertaining, it is quite funny with a set of characters who are truly unique and memorable. You will want to read and re read it and will laugh out loud every time.
I like it! 2007-04-22
There are two main characters: Cimorene and Mendanbar. Cimorene is a princess. She volunteered to be a dragon's princess. She knows a little bit of fencing, cooking, Latin, embroiderey and dancing. Mendanbar is the king of the Enchanted Forest. He is very busy. He is good at magic.
The main problem of the story is rescuing the king of the dragons. She's a girl: king is the name of the job. Her name is Kazul. Some wizards captured her.
I loved this book. I'd recommend this book because it's very interesting. I'd recommend the first three books to girls, and the last one to boys. The first three are about girls and the last one is about a boy.

In Searching for Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede there was a king who hated being king of the enchanted forest and one day when he was playing hooky he saw that a whole section of the enchanted forest was burnt to the ground.
He found about four scales in the ashes and a squirrel told him to go to the good witch Morwen and she told him that there dragons scales and to go to the land of dragons to confront the king Kazul who is a girl dragon but instead finds her missing. And so he has to team up with Kazuls reluctant princess Cimorene and there only tools are a magic carpet, a leaky magic sword, and a few buckets of soapy lemon water to get Kazul back and defeat the evil wizard Zemenar.

Cimorene, the princess who refuses to be proper, meets her match in the not-quite-kingly Mendanbar. With the aid of a broken-down magic carpet and a leaky magical sword, the two tackle a series of dragon-nappings.
Incredible series! 2006-09-25
All the Enchanted Forest Chronicles are so much fun! Definitely at my top of Harry Potter fan recommendations. They're just such an amusing read; I even teach with them. Don't forget to read "The Frying Pan of Doom."
What's next? 2006-09-18
In the second installment of Cimorene's tale, we find Cimorene still housekeeping for Kazul and dissuading errant princes of their determination to `rescue' her. But when the King of the Enchanted Forest, Mendanbar, knocks on her door, he catches her as she is leaving to find Kazul, who has gone missing. As Kazul is now the King of the Dragons, Cimorene must not let this news leak as panic might ensue. Mendanbar decides that he too must find Kazul to stave off war with the wizards, so they join forces and set off on a journey through the land to rescue Kazul and thwart the wizards once again.
Those Wizards Are At It Again! 2005-12-24
Searching For Dragons was okay, and it is the sequel to Dealing With Dragons.
Mendanbar is the King of the Enchanted Forest. He sees that part of the forest is burned, and totally zapped of any magic. Mendanbar sees dragon scales, leading him to believe that it was the dragons that caused the destruction. Taking advice from some magical creatures, he seeks the witch named Morwen for advice, and any answers. It turns out the scales belonged to a dragon who had been gone long ago, and the scales had been enchanted to appear as if it belonged to several dragons, in fact. Mendanbar goes to see the King of Dragons, Kazul, to see if she (That's right. She.) can help. He meets Cimorene, and she tells him that Kazul is missing. The two go on quest, with each their own reason, to seek Kazul's location, and bring her back where she belongs. Mendanbar, and Cimorene meet a variety characters, creatures, magical objects, and they encounter new places, too. But worst of all, wizards. The King of the Enchanted Forest, and The King of Dragon's Chief Cook and Librarian are sure the wizards are up to something. But what? And why?
Another Great Book! 2005-10-16
Next to Dealing With Dragons, this book is also wonderful and exciting. I LOVE all of the dragon series and you'll LOVE this book, too. IT'S GREAT!!!
