Newbery Medal winner Kelly Barnhill spins a wondrously different kind of fairy-tale: In most fairy tales, princesses are beautiful, dragons are terrifying, and stories are harmless. But this isn't most fairy tales...
Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. Particularly when it comes to telling stories. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A forbidden book. It tells a story of an evil being, called the Nybbas, imprisoned in their world. The story cannot be true--not really. But then the whispers start. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon-the last dragon in existence, in fact-may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph or its demise. It all depends on how they tell the story. After all, stories make their own rules.
Iron Hearted Violet is a story about the power of stories, our belief in them, and how one enchanted tale changed the course of an entire kingdom.

Iron Hearted Violet is an extremely creative and well-written fantasy about a princess who isn't beautiful (in fact, rather ugly), isn't dainty, and most assuredly isn't weak. Her kingdom loves her, especially her mother, father, her best friend Demetrius and the castle's storyteller, Cassian. Her name is Violet. Violet and Demetrius constantly wander the castle, exploring its secrets. Anything they find is relatively normal (well, as normal as things can be in a magical castle) until they stumble upon the secret of an evil god, known as the Nybbas. From then on, a series of events take place that send the kingdom towards its doom -- into the waiting hands of the Nybbas. With the help of a dragon, a runty god, three "miniature people" and the somewhat unwilling storyteller Cassian, Violet and Demetrius must stop the Nybbas and save their world from utter destruction. I loved this book so much! It is possibly the most unpredictable book I have ever read, and it literally defies every fairytale cliche. After reading the whole thing, I was thoroughly convinced that it is in my top five favorite books. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good adventure, and an unusual one at that. Get ready to expect the unexpected!
