困っちゃった王子さま (創元ブックランド)

The dragons feel so alive and witty — I wonder if that was inspired by classic folklore or her own imagination. Did she want to challenge the usual dragon stereotypes?

Her growth from hesitant to brave was really inspiring, but I kept wondering if that was the main message or if there’s more beneath the surface about trusting oneself.

The world-building feels rich but also accessible for middle-grade readers — I’m curious whether the author based it on any real-world culture or created it entirely from scratch.
