Creelisel Carlbrun, (Creel for short), never thought that a pair of slippers would change her life forever. //Dragon Slippers//, by Jessica Day George, is the most exciting book that I have ever read! The science topic this book is about is alchemy. Alchemy is the power or process of transforming something common into something special. I LOVED the author's writing style! She describes things in such detail that I could picture every second of the book in my mind. This book is unusual because it can be funny at times,and also has adventure, drama, action, and mystery all in one. Thoeradus, Creel, Shardus, Amarican, Feniul, Tobin, Prince Luka, Marta, Alle, Larkin, Princess Amalia, Prince Milun (Miles), Ulfrid, and Derda are all characters in this book. Creel is a teenager who lives in the village of Carlieff Town.She is also the main character. Theoradus is the first dragon Creel meets. He is a nice dragon who collects shoes. Shardas is another dragon Creel meets, and they become best friends. He collects stained glass windows. Creel lives with Shardas for a while. He helps her get food and shelter. Amarican is a small dragon. He is Theoradus' friend. Feniul is Shardas' cousin. He collects dogs. Tobin is Prince Luka's bodyguard. He can't speak, but uses a special kind of sign language. Prince Luka is the prince of Feravel, which is a town located in the King's Seat. He helps Creel find a place to stay for the night. Marta and Alle are Creel's friends that she meets while working in a dress shop. Larkin works at the dress shop, too. She used to be nice until she betrayed Creel. Princess Amalia is the evil Princess of Roulain. She lives in a palace in the King's Seat. Prince Milun is Prince Luka's older brother. He is engaged to Princess Amalia. Ulfrid is Tobin's sister. She owns an inn, and lets Creel stay there on her first night in the King's Seat. Ulfrid also helps Creel find a job working in Derda's dress shop. Derda is the owner of a dress shop. She gives Creel a job sewing dresses and a new place to stay. //Dragon Slippers// begins in Carlieff Town, which is Creel's home town. Next, the story brings us to the caves of Theoradus (where Creel finds a strange pair of blue slippers), and then Shardas. Later, Creel finds herself at the King's Seat, which is in the kingdom of Feravel. The story takes place long ago, when there were many kings and queens, princes and princesses, and, of course, dragons. This is much different from our world because here, we don't see dragons flying all over the place. It is very easy to picture the castle, dragons, caves, and all of the characters. Creel meets many dragons on her journey. The first dragon is Theoradus, who she thinks sits on piles of gold. It turns out that not all dragons collect gold. Theoradus collects shoes! He does not want to eat her, but just wants her to leave. She will only leave if she gets something from his hoard. She looks at thousands of shoes and finally picks a pair of blue slippers.Theoradus tries to make her pick a different pair of shoes, but Creel refuses. She does not know that these slippers will take her on an amazing adventure! Creel will meet more dragons, princes, princesses, kings and queens and many more interesting people. Some of these people will become her friends, and some will become her greatest nightmare! How can a pair of slippers hold so much power? //Dragon Slippers// answers this question. If you like dragons, mystery, and sacfrifice, read Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George! I would recommend this book to everyone, even those who dislike reading. //Dragon Slippers// is a book you will never forget! As you can see, I give this book a five star rating!
