If you're an 11 year old girl who likes adventure and fantasy, you'd like this, right? WRONG! This is extremely strange and out of the ordinary. The only reason I read it was because I needed to make a book report.

My father read this series to me more than ten years ago, and even before I went looking for it once again, a month or so ago, I still could remember it vividly.

There are some dry parts, but most of this book is very interesting and I would recommend it to anyone 12 or older, because everyone will like it.

I am now sixteen and it remains one of my favorite fantasies. I have read it at least ten times, and never get bored. The book is all about a dragon princess named Shimmer who is in exile for stealing a magical stone (the dream pearl) and while in exile, a witch steals the sea which is her home. Now she is searching for the witch so she can get back the ... Read More
