In Bryce Coville's The Dragonslayers, a brave squire, an earnest page, and a strong-willed princess set out on their own missions to slay the dragon created to carry out a witch's revenge.

"To get revenge on King Mildred, Grizelda creates the fiercest dragon the kingdom has ever seen. He is such a terror that he must be killed, but none of the knights have the courage to do it. Only an old squire, a page boy, and a very willful princess are up for the battle."

Bruce Coville--with more than 6 million copies of his books in print--offers a traditional fairy tale filled with very non-traditional characters. It's a funny, heartwarming adventure that will appeal to boys and girls alike--a perfect introduction to Coville's work.
