Talking with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

Talking with Dragons: Everyone in the Enchanted Forest is looking for the Sword of the Sleeping King. Most dangerous is a band of wizards who want to rule the Forest. Daystar, the bearer of the Sword, a fire witch nammed Shiara, and a baby dragon are supposed to take the sword to a castle, fight the wizards, find the king, figure out how to wake him, and get rid of the wizards. Definately not an easy task....

One thing I really liked about the story was that almost everything was the author's creativity. Magic swords aren't new, but the actual magic is. Fire witches are new. wizards as badf guys is new. I liked the humour too. But I didn't like how easy it was to figure out the story.
