A young princess named Middle is cursed and locked away in a tower, where she is guarded by an angry, hyperactive dragon. Lonely and far away from home, Princess Middle is befriended by a chameleon butterfly and a unicorn with wings, and they teach Brain the Dragon how to calm down and express himself. Together, they break the terrible curse that binds the princess, and learn that “normal” sometimes isn’t normal.
There once was a princess named Middle;
Who got in a terrible riddle,
She was locked in a castle,
It was quite a hassle,
Till her dragon learned how not to fiddle.
