A review by bookgirl4ever
Thomas and the Dragon Queen by Shutta Crum

3.0

Thomas is the oldest of several brothers and sisters. He is also pretty small for his age. He loves to hear his father tell stories of knight school, although his father never finished. Now the kingdom is at war and Sir Phillip, a knight, is passing through. He stops at Thomas' home and Thomas is more than happy to become his page. Thomas takes the steps to become a knight, and when the princess is stolen by the dragon queen, the king knights him because he is one of the few squires not at the battle front. Thomas, clad in a leather jerkin, riding a donkey, and wielding a mysterious sword, sets out to rescue the princess. Thomas is such a sweet character that I wanted to read more despite the slow pace of the plot.

3rd - 4th grade.
