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++++++++++
