In the video game Recettear, you can buy a book with the title 仲良し姉妹の冒険記. The
item description says the following:

> 世界中を旅しているという姉妹に密着した, ノンフィクション作品。ドラゴンに食べられそうになったりと，結構大変な事になってます。

The part I'm wondering about is this:

> ドラゴンに食べられそうになったりと

a.k.a

> [This book] makes you likely to be eaten by a dragon

Or

> [This book] is likely to be eaten by a dragon

Or what?

question
translation
How to properly translate: "ドラゴンに食べられそうになったりと" in this context
As Keigh Rim pointed out, the description summarizes the contents of the book.
The most notable event in the book is presumably when the sisters were almost
eaten by a dragon.

The なったり part carries the implication that there are other events besides this
one that are also described in the book. Since translation is also the art of
selectively choosing the words that best carry the original meaning in a
concise manner, I would translate that last sentence as:

> It tells of the sisters' trials, including the time they were nearly eaten
> by a dragon.
