Dragon Rider

***Another Cornelia Funke book. She is an amazing author.***
The book begins in a hidden valley in Europe. All dragons have gone into hiding and now their land is being invaded by humans, so Sorrell (a brownie) and Firedrake (a dragon) set off to find a legendary place called The Rim of Heaven, where most of the dragons are believed to be in hiding. On their way, they meet an orphan boy named Ben who joins them on their adventures. But their quest is interrupted when the beast who forced the dragons into hiding in the first place reawakens and begins to hunt again...

I absolutely love this book. It is simply... magical.

-- This book is very clean (even appropriate for children) and deserves every one of these ten plusses! A++++++++++

The Thief Lord

Well, you can't judge a book by its cover, but I'd better put this one on because it is a very cool cover.

The Thief Lord is one of my favorite books of all time. It's about two brothers named Prosper and Boniface (Bo). After their mother dies, their cruel aunt Esther wants to adopt Bo, but not Prosper. So they run away to Venice, Italy, so they can be together. There, they join a group of street kids who live in an abandoned movie theater. The group is led by a mysterious boy named Scipio. Scipio is a thief who is never caught. Hence, the name "the Thief Lord".

But as the plot moves along, it is found out that everyone has secrets... even the Thief Lord.

This book with it's wonderful descriptions and enchanting storyline is a good read for all ages.

I would rate it PG, though, for mild language. But A++++ for everything else!!!!
