"Margaret is a brave, self-sufficient young woman. She craves adventure and jumps at the chance to travel to far-away lands. She is willing to sacrifice herself to save the rest of those on the ship, but she doesn't submit quietly to being eaten by the sea serpent...she fights back and defeats it. When her prince fails to destroy the giant, she impulsively grabs the weapon and discovers that she is the prophesied champion. "What fools we are for thinking it must be a man who slays that great, dirty giant!" Another equal companionship in an action-filled fairy tale."
"A great adventure in the old fairy-tales sort of tradition, but this time with a great twist as it's Margaret who gets to battle the monster! The illustrations are great!"
"I saw this at the library and decided that it sounded awesome (Margaret is wielding a sword on the cover!). And I read to my own little Margaret and it WAS awesome. I think I'll get this book for her: I love stories of strong women- especially women who come into a fight after their boyfriend already got killed by the giant and then finish off the giant themselves. Too many love stories have helpless heroines who need to be saved by a man. It's not often you find a gem where the man needs saving by a woman. :)"
"grades 2-4 independent/guided reading fluent high fantasy personification, rhyme,cultural language weak text&illustration interaction although beautiful illustrations love story, person versus nature, fantasy creatures, sailing, courage, romance, battles"
