One such book is 'Dealing with Dragons' by Patricia C. Wrede. It's a great junior fiction that tells the story of a princess who doesn't want to be a proper princess and befriends a dragon instead.
Another option could be 'How to Train Your Dragon' series by Cressida Cowell. It focuses on a boy named Hiccup and his relationship with dragons, but there are also strong female characters in the story, and it's a popular junior fiction that involves the relationship between humans and dragons.
In 'Dealing with Dragons', the interesting plot point is that the girl, Cimorene, rebels against the traditional princess role. Instead of waiting to be rescued, she runs away to live with a dragon. She has to deal with the dragon's odd habits and also fend off knights who come to 'rescue' her.
I recommend "Limited Favorite Marriage: Young Mistress Flees 99 Times" to you. This book is a modern romance and urban life novel. In the story, there was a pair of sweet and loving protagonists. The male lead was domineering and tsundere, while the female lead was cute and adorable. There was also a domineering queen and a tsundere little leopard. They were all cute! There are many interesting plots in this story. I believe you will definitely like this little leopard. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah ~😗
I don't know of a specific Morton book about a girl in fiction off - hand. However, if you search for 'Morton' and 'fiction' and 'girl' in a large library database or a major online bookstore, you may be able to find something. Some bookstores also have staff who are really good at making recommendations based on such general criteria.
One such book could be 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman. It's not exactly about a girl, but it has elements that might be relevant. It features a boy who is raised by the inhabitants of a graveyard. There might be other books that are more directly about a girl and a grave, but this is a great start for exploring stories in a similar vein.
There are also some indie 'dragon talisman fiction book' out there. You might want to check online platforms like Amazon or Goodreads. Search for the keyword 'dragon talisman' in the fiction section. You may find some hidden gems that are not as well - known but offer unique takes on the concept of dragon talismans in a fictional setting.
I'm sorry I can't recommend a specific one right away. There are so many books out there. You could try searching in science - fiction or young adult sections in libraries or online bookstores. Look for keywords like 'girl', 'space', and 'blue cover'.
There are many 1950s fictions that explore the lives of young people. While I can't immediately name one that is about a girl with polio, there were a number of books that delved into the difficulties faced by young adults during that time. It could be that such a book exists but is relatively unknown. You could also try searching for books about disability in the 1950s and see if any match the description of a young adult girl protagonist.
'Dealing with Dragons' by Patricia C. Wrede is also a top pick. In this book, the main character, Cimorene, is a princess who doesn't want to be a traditional princess. Instead, she runs away to live with dragons. It's a fun and humorous take on the dragon - themed junior fiction genre, with a strong - willed female lead that many young readers can look up to.
The Moana Junior Novel Book is really great. It has vivid descriptions of Moana's adventures. The characters in it are well - presented, like Moana herself, who is brave and determined. The story is also full of beautiful island scenery descriptions.
Yes, there could be. There are many books by various authors named Morton, and it's quite likely that one of them has written a fictional book about a girl. You might want to check in local libraries or online bookstores using more specific search terms like the first name of the author Morton if possible.
