Thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy of this book. I received this in exchange for my honest review. This was a great beginner chapter book. There was some similarities to different fairy tales so a great stepping stone for littles to progress their reading. The story focused on forgiveness and how it can eliminate so many problems around you. Great story that littles learning to read will enjoy and be able to get a good lesson from.

The Lilac Princess is a lovely children's chapter book that is perfect for children who want to read a book that I bit more complex.

It's a wonderful story about forgiveness, adventure, friends, family and dragons. A great story for all the children who want to start reading fanasty without it being too difficult too understand.

The writing style was to the point, easy to understand and flowed together wonderfully. The characters are loveable and realistic. All in all, a great story for every child that also won't bore the parents when they have to read it for the hundredth time.

Dreama longs for life outside of the castle, but she is not fully aware of the dangers that lurk outside the walls. As she befriends a young village boy, she convinces him to help her sneak out and away from the castle so that she can visit the spot where he picked some flowers for her.
However, she is about to discover that not everyone is kind, and what she took as punishment was, in actuality, for her own protection.

This was a cute little story! I enjoyed reading it immensely!

The Princess isn't allowed to go out past the castle walls. It's too dangerous. But the fields of purple flowers draw her. When a boy at the market inside the walls gives her a flower, she loves the way they smell. He tells her they are lilacs.

BooksGoSocial and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). This has been published and you can get a copy now.

Next time she sees him she asks if he can get her a cloak to wear so she can sneak out. He brings her his dead father's cloak. She sneaks out with the peasants as the sales end and plays in the lilacs. She sees an animal approaching her but doesn't know enough to be afraid. He's a dragon and he asks her if she would like to go on a ride. She accepts and suddenly she is missing. When her little friend sees the posters, he feels guilty and he decides to save her.

He's not too big and he has a small sword and a knife but he got her into it and now he's going to get her out of trouble. Of course, the dragon has some thoughts about that.

The battle is vicious and the dragon is injured. He asks them for forgiveness. Could you forgive someone who was trying to kill you?
