Customer Reviews

Super cute!

I liked that they utilized characters from the first generation, but didn't rely on them too much and spent time developing the new characters. Millie and Audun are cute, and I liked the main theme.

Another hit!

I'm 25 and have been following this series since I found the first book in a second hand store on my honeymoon. They're adorable, original, and well crafted. This one is no different! They blend from the original princess to her daughter nicely and it doesn't feel awkward. Looks like the start of another beautiful love story.

Absolute Winner!

My 9 1/2 yr old daughter LOVES this new series and highly recommends it to all her friends. Even her older sister read it because she loved the earlier series. They both finished the book in 2 days because they couldn't put it down. Reviews don't get any better than that!

My daughter loved it.

I bought this for my daughter age 10. She typically will not read books without pictures (manga) unless they have something special. Well, this book does. It is filled with humor, which is her hot button. I will be getting the rest of the series for her!

A pleasant surprise!

I thought this series ended but it was a surprise to see another book come out. It is fun to read about the kids of the main characters in the series. I thought it was a little annoying how whiny Millie is but she is 15 years old. A fun, adventerous read!

Good Book

The Dragon Princess is the sixth book in The Tales of the Frog Princess. It is about Millie, the daughter of Crown Prince Eadric of Upper Montevista and Crown Princess Emeralda of Greater Greensward. Ever since the day Millie was born, every time she becomes angry she turns into a huge, green, fire-breathing dragon. This does not make her happy. This problem causes Millie to have difficulties in finding a suitor who doesn't promise to slay every dragon in the country for her or run away screaming after seeing her as a dragon. In the beginning of the book Millie's birthday is in a few days. She plans to have her party in Greater Greensward with her mother's family, but due to her father's mother's wishes the party is moved to Upper Montevista. During the party Millie's parents, aunt, and uncle are called away to help the people of Chancelwood. Millie discovers that the only reason her grandmother, Queen Frazella, wanted her to have the party in Upper Montevista was because of a bet she had with her youngest son's fiance'. Infuriated, Millie accidentally transforms into a dragon in front of her grandmother and her uncle's fiance' against her parents wishes. Her parents decided not to tell Frazella of Millie's dragon-self because they feared how she would take it. After Millie calms down and becomes a human again she remembers a conversation she had with a witch at her birthday party. Mudine, the witch, told her of The Blue Witch, a witch in the frozen North who might be able to help her with her dragon problem. Millie decides to go and tells her friend Zoe of her plans. Zoe insists on going and informing Millie's cousin Francis of their future journey. Francis then decides to go to protect the girls. Characters: PRINCESS MILLIE--main character, when angry becomes a dragon, mother is Princess Emeralda, father is Prince Eadric PRINCESS ZOE--half vampire, half bat, father is Garrid, the prince of the vampires, mother is Li'l, good friend of Millie's mother, Princess Emeralda FRANCIS--Millie's second cousin, son of the former Green Witch Grassina and her husband Haywood QUEEN FRAZELLA--queen of Upper Montevista, Millie's grandmother, mother of Prince Eadric PRINCESS EMERALDA--crown princess of Greater Greensward, Millie's mother, Green Witch PRINCES EADRIC--crown prince of Upper Montevista, Millie's father The Dragon Princess is not Ms. Baker's best. It could have been longer. It ended before Millie returned to the castle of Upper Montevista. So, you did not get to read about her being grounded for traveling to the North unsupervised. I was also upset when I relized there would not be much magic in it. Otherwise it was a pretty good book. It is worth reading.
