I read this with my 5 year old. It was a bit over his head in parts but he really enjoyed it and looks forward to us reading the others.

If this is the end, it’s a great one. If it’s not, it’s still a great story.

Another fun, fast-paced adventure featuring Claudette, Marie, and Gaston (and Valiant, of course!). With all new villains and some return favorites, this was a great continuation of the series.

I loved seeing how the side characters were progressing. It's always fun to check in on the band of Marie-obsessed princes and the Apple Hag.

This one has quite the twist at the end, which was an adorable addition. It also includes some behind-the-scenes info on the process of creating the book.

Adventure, humor, fun. Whenever Claudette sets out on a quest, I'll always be there for the ride.

Gahhhhh, this was adorable and a truly sweet way to end a junior graphic novel! Claudette was probably at her most annoying in this one but that's half of her charm. You'll find yourself sticking around for all of the other cast members so full of heart!!

Aw, I always forget how cute and awesome this series is. But then a new one comes out and I am delighted to be reminded. This is maybe the last one so I'll miss, but it's a great ending. And shout out to Jeni's Splendid!

I enjoyed this wrap up for the series. Claudette is a fun character and I have enjoyed all of her adventures. Great graphic novel series.

Claudette continues to yearn for adventure. After her previous battles with giants and dragons, she is more determined than ever to win fame and glory with her courage. The Marquis who rules Mont Petit Pierre does not approve of Claudette's behavior or her influence on his own daughter, Marie. When Claudette manages to be chosen for the Warrior Games, the stakes are very high. Either she wins, or she has to dress as a little lady and give up her wooden sword and Marie will be sent away to boarding school. The home team has got to win! But something is going on with the Games. Teams keep disappearing, and there's something fishy about the team from the sea kingdom (yes, pun intended). Can a princess in training, a great cook, and a tiny warrior with a wooden sword actually win the Games and defeat any trickery?

In this fantasy adventure suitable for all ages there is plenty of action, humor, and surprises to keep readers turning the page. Claudette's single-minded focus on winning, even in the crazy competitions of the Warrior Games will have readers shaking their heads. Hunting for truffles? Milking cows and churning your own butter? What sort of warrior activities are these? And if the Games are safe, then where are all the missing competitors? She may be tiny, but she is mighty and then some. You have to read all about Claudette's latest feats.

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.

The fun continues in the Chronicles of Claudette. There is a bet made between the mayor and Claudette and Claudette knows she can win until competition arrives from the sea kingdom and they dominate the competition. Claudette is so focused on winning the competition that she doesn't notice the strange things that happen around the sea folk.

This was sure exciting and fast paced. I think this series is a lot of fun. A great read for young readers. This will be good for my nephew when he is ready.
