Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George
Creel's silly aunt has one ridiculous plan to fortune : Feed Creel to the old brown dragon, make a lot of noise, wait for a prince or someone equal as rich to come save Creel and bring everyone good fortune. Ridiculous! On the fateful day, Creel is sent to the brown dragon, but the dragon doesn't plan to eat her. After much thought, they come upon a deal. One thing from the dragon's shoe hoard for leaving the cave alive and telling the prince not to come. Creel looks through all his shapes and sizes of shoes and decides on some blue-green slippers that make her feel like she's walking on clouds. But as Creel finds her fortune in the Kings seat, she discovers secrets about the slippers that could either save the kingdom or destroy it. Creel wants to save Shardas, the gold dragon and all the rest of the dragons, but all of the kingdom thinks the dragons are horrible, terrible, fire-breathing creatures.
