About ENOUGH ELIZABETHS

The story opens with the introduction of Princess Elizabeth. She just turned ten, which is the customary age for her to receive her own tower room. But readers don’t see Elizabeth because she’s missing!

When Elenora, the new junior housekeeper, forgot to close the window in Elizabeth’s room, a tired dragon flew in to take a nap. But the castle staff wonder if the dragon took Elizabeth, too! A variety of people approach the dragon demanding Elizabeth’s return. The sleepy dragon has no idea what an “Elizabeth” is and tries to give everyone something else.

Eventually, in the middle of all the chaos, Elizabeth appears. She knows she must face one of her biggest fears—and it’s not the dragon!

Elizabeth has a fear of heights.

In the end, she and the dragon have a friendly chat and work out a cozy deal for everyone.

What is the deal? You’ll have to read the book to find out!
