strange but oh so cool, Mar 2 2009
By Rebecca E. Saenz - Published on Amazon.com
I came across this book as a kid and always remembered it. Mostly remember the illustrations. These are strange, almost myth based stories about a young girl, on her own, living out of a gypsy cart, but other than that very happy. She has several adventures, one I don't remember, the other includes a dragon that regurgitates her every night so she can tell him stories. It's blurred with my memories of the movie "Dragonslayer" (I was going through my Dragon phase)so I'll wait to reread the book before I go any further. I'm delighted to find that somebody other than myself is aware that this book exists, and I want it for no other purpose than to restore my childhood book collection that my mom donated to charity while I was away at school one day. I have never recovered the over the loss of those books, and no matter what the cost I will have them back! That and my Stephen King collection she threw out when she went through a religious phase, but that's another story!

My first feminist fairy tale, Mar 23 2003
By "theladynova" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Soonie and the Dragon (Paperback)
This was my favourite book when I was a kid. It may have actually been the first book I ever read by myself; certainly it was the first I ever stayed up late to read with a flashlight every night for a week (and it only took me one night to reread it each time.) It's about a girl named Soonie who has to save her village from a dragon, along with the three princess it had eaten. Soonie fills the role of the young man in the fairy tales, except of course that she doesn't wind up marrying any of the princesses. I'm not sure that this book was really intended for small children, but I'm glad it was one of my first. It didn't teach me that I can accomplish great things even though I'm a girl; it taught me that I can accomplish great things BECAUSE I'm a girl. That is a lesson I wish more girls would learn.
