content: That's what Cimorene says when she hears she's being married off to this boring empty-headed prince who only cares about swords and tournements. A nearby talking frog hears her and asks her what she is going to do about it, and gives her advice.From the very first page, Patricia C. Wrede had me enthralled and wanting to read more. The first page describes Cimorene's castle, all of the perfectly normal things that happened there, and then the page ends with, "And Cimorene hated it."This is a great book for girls. Not a guy-hating feminist book, but a story about a strong-willed, brave, loyal, clever girl and her adventures and friends she meets, about how she will not let any world confine her.Not only that, but it's a great funny story poking a little fun at traditional fairy stories. All of these books are great, Read them all! I especially like the third book narrated by the witch who can understand her cats. THe author really knows how cats think!
