Book six in the Frog Princess series.
Emma and Eadric have a daughter with a bad temper. Not too surprising, except that Millie turns into a dragon every time she loses her temper. After a disastrous birthday party, Millie sets off on a quest to find a witch who may be able to help her. Unfortunately, the road to the Blue Witch is not an easy one, and Millie and her companions may end up lost in the icy north forever.
Funny.

The Dragon Princess by E.D. Baker – Well the third generation of this family still has a penchant for trouble! Happy Reading!

2 1\2 stars. It was all right. I think that this storyline is petering out. The quality of her books in this series has gone downhill a bit. I will certainly keep reading her books though.

I loved the original series, with clumsy princess Emma and less-than-charming prince Eadric, but after "The Salamander's Spell" I just couldn't get into it. It feels odd to me reading about Emma from a perspective other than hers. So while I think this book was just as well written and equally magical compared to its predecessors, I'm going to good-naturedly pretend that this book and the ones that follow were never written. I am perfectly content to leave Emma where she was at the end of "No Place for Magic".

[b:The Dragon Princess|3416337|The Dragon Princess (Tales of the Frog Princess, #6)|E.D. Baker|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1423952965s/3416337.jpg|5992779] is a story about a girl named Millie trying to control her emotions. I enjoyed the adventure she ends up on and her unique friends. The story was a little slow in some parts and a very sensitive reader might be put off by some of the challenges Millie and her friends try to overcome. Overall the story is appropriate for older elementary school readers and older. I was annoyed that Millie's biggest complaint about her problem was that it interferes with her effort to find someone to marry.

The Dragon Princess by E.D. Baker is the sixth of the Tales of the Frog Princess series. The book takes an unusual but welcome turn as a fantasy series, opting to jump to the future where Emma and Eadric are married and the parents of a princess with her own curse. When Millie loses her temper (and what teenager, doesn't?) she turns into a fire breathing dragon!

This was not as strong as the original series. Perhaps because this is the first in the new series about Emma and Eadric's daughter it spent too much time weakly establishing characters and not providing a very good quest/journey/task the the previous books did. I will definitely read the next one because I like the secondary characters very much. I would have liked a little more involvement of Emma and Eadric since those are the characters that kept me reading.

I thought about giving this 2.5 stars, but I decided to settle for 3 because it wasn’t a bad book. It was more of the fact that I am not within the age range for the target audience. The book just felt too young for me, and it felt like it was aimed at an even younger audience than the forst few books in the series. The only reason that I am reading these books is because I read the first one years ago and then after that I went out and bought some of the reat of the series. Now I am trying to clear off some speace on my shelves, but I have a problem with letting books go without reading them, or in this case finishing the series.
The one thing I have to say is that the author did a good job creating a differnt voice for Millie than the one for Emma in the first books. She sounds very different from her. However, Millie seems less mature than Emma was, which makes it feel like it is meant for a younger audience. At the beginning Millie sort of acts like a spoiled brat and basically has tantrums when she can’t have things her way, even though, as not only a fifteen year-old but also a princess, she should know that things cannot always go her way and that their duties to the people come first. Emma understood this, especially since she became the Green Witch, but for some reason Millie doesn’t get it.
It was also interesting to see some of the characters from the pervious books, and see their children interacting with Millie. I do wish that some of them played a bigger role, especially Emma and Eadric, because they were barely there at all.
The one thing I am not sure that I like about this series is that the main characters changed in the middle of the series. We went from Emma for the first four to Grassina for the fofth and Now Millie for thr sixth, and I was not really expecting that. It reminds me a bit of the Chronicles of Narnia series, because they o that there too and I did not expect that either. I prefer to continue following the same main character instead of switching all the time.
