But Princess Susan doesn't want sparkly things! She wants to save the kingdom! So, with the help of an outspoken scullery maid and a loyal canine companion, she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. As formidable as the dragon is, Princess Susan's most daunting challenge may be convincing her parents to pay attention to what she wants and actually listen to her. Fortunately, the resourceful and entrepreneurial princess has a perfect (and delightfully unexpected) plan to ensure that everyone--even the dragon--lives happily ever after. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"In a tale that mixes business with heroics, Weinstein's (<i>Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian</i>) text is full of determination, and Figueroa's (<i>We Wait for the Sun</i>) art has the compositional verve and plucky characterizations of classic Disney animation."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "It is always delightful to find a children's story that shakes things up, encouraging laughter, bravery, and individuality....
