About this audiobook

Princess Serena (or, as she prefers, Princess Pulverizer) doesn't want to be a princess-she wants to be knight! But her father, King Alexander of Empiria, thinks that she still has a lot to learn when it comes to exhibiting valiant behavior. So he presents a challenge: the princess must first go on a Quest of Kindness and perform good deeds to prove that she truly deserves to go to knight school. With the help of a friendly dragon named Dribble and a perpetually terrified knight-in-training named Lucas, can she complete her quest and discover what it truly takes to be a hero?

    Princess Serena (or Princess Pulverizer, as she prefers to be called) hates having to learn ladylike manners and would much rather go to knights-in-training school. Her father consents to this arrangement if she can first complete a series of tasks to prove she is worthy of taking on knighthood.This is the first book in a series, which is increasingly obvious as the princess must complete eight tasks and barely finishes one by the end of this novel. In theory, I wanted to like this book, but I just felt like it fell a bit flat for me. I'm getting more than a little sick of the idea that girls and women can only be a "strong female lead" if they take on male characteristics. This easily could have just been a book in which a child has to complete eight tasks before starting knight school; there was no need to make a big stink about how Serena/Pulverizer is the only girl to ever attempt this, blah blah blah. On the flip side, it was sort of refreshing that Serena/Pulverizer isn't a nice child and is continually having to learn a lesson about being a better person.The story also relies a bit too heavily on flatulence and other such jokes to be humorous. I'm sure the target audience of elementary school-age children will enjoy that, but it wasn't for me. This book series already has other titles and given the author's popularity with other series, I imagine this one will continue to do well with its young audience. I, however, am not interested in reading more of these.

    Thank you to #partner @kidlitexchange for a review copy of this book.A super cute beginning chapter book about a princess who does not want to be a princess. Instead, she wants to go to knight school and become a night. On her journey, she meets others who are not the stereotypical characters you would meet in a kingdom. The first book even includes grilled cheese!My daughter, who is seven, absolutely loved this book. It fits her spunky personality and outside-of-the-box thinking. We are looking forward to the next books in the series. I plan on buying them for our home and my classroom library. A must-have series to include in elementary libraries. They will be read over and over again.

    Like a few princesses before her, Princess Serena...err, um, I mean, Princess Pulverizer, doesn't want any part of BEING a princess. She desires to be a knight and that's that. None of this dancing about, learning to curtsey, deciding which fork to use and when. No siree, she's rather be in the thick of things and she's not afraid to let anyone know, including dear old dad, the King. Thing is as silly/sweet as her "special face" is, even he won't let her have it that easily and so, she's sent on a Quest of Kindness. How and when it ends rests entirely on her shoulders, but if this adventure was any sign of what's to come, it's gonna be good...

    If you're a fan of spunky girls, shivering knights, dragons with chef intentions, and mighty stinky ogres, this ones for you!

    Thanks to @kidlitexchange for the review copy of this book. All opinions are my own. Princess Pulverizer: Grilled Cheeses and Dragons by Nancy Krulik. ?????This chapter book has cute illustrations and simple to read vocabulary. Princess Serena doesn't want to go to princess school to learn tea parties and dancing, she wants to go to Knight School to rescue damsels in distress and slay dragons. Her father refuses until the princess convinces him to strike a deal with her. Eight good deeds must be preformed and then he will let her go to Knight School. So she's off but good deeds are not easy, she gets yelled at and forced to run and then trapped by an Ogre. Then the Ogre traps a knight and a dragon with smelly breath and things just get really complicated, but she has the Queen's jewels she rescued for good deed #1. Now she must find a way out (with the dragon's help) she is able to move on to find more good deeds to do and win her way to Knight School.
