Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede.Magic Carpet Books-Harcourt, 1990, 212 pages

 Two Strong Female characters- A Princess and A Dragon. High Fantasy with Fairy Tale elements. So well written it feels like an adult book-- in the vein of Rowan of Rin or Ranger's Apprentice. Loved it.

-- chosen for Bookclub-- Not sure if it is young encough!
