Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke

Some important characters in Dragon Rider are:
Firedrake-he is a silver dragon. He breathes fire, but he works for good not evil. He and the other silver dragons live off of Moon light. They don't eat or drink anything. He has volunteered to go on a journey half way across the world.
Ben- A human boy that has joined Firedrake on his journey. He is an orphan and has never known any of his family members.
Sorrel- She is a brownie who is furry, likes arguing about every little thing someone says, and she absolutely loves mushrooms like all brownies do.

The setting of my book:
Firedrake, Ben, and Sorrel travel half-way around the world looking for the Rim of Heaven. When they finally find it they are amazed at it's beauty. "A lake as round as the moon...blue flowers...glowed on the darkness of the night..." on pg 422 or Dragon Rider.

Plot: The dragons need to hide from humans so they send Firedrake to look for the Rim of Heaven. He meets other creatures along the way. Some that are helpful, some that are not so helpful.

I would definitely recommend this book, especially for people who like Sci-Fi/Fantasy, or even Adventure lovers. The first reason why I would recommend this book is because all the creatures they meet on this journey are interesting. Like I said in my last post, there are a lot of different creatures. The second reason why I would recommend it is the journey itself is so cool. It's good to see the perseverance of Firedrake, Ben, and Sorrel. They may even get a bit down sometimes, but they don't give up. The third and final reason why I recommend this book is because even though it is about magical creatures, you can still relate to it.
