Igraine the BraveBy: Cornelia Funke
Genres: Adventure, Fantasy, and Magic For Ages: 8-11 Igraine, daughter of the two best magicians in the land, has no interest in magic. She wants to be a knight, and go on adventures all day. But her wish may come true sooner than she thinks. When Osmund the greedy lays siege to their castle in order to steal their famous Books of Magic and her parents accidentally turn themselves into pigs, Igraine must ride off to get ingredients for the spell they need to turn themselves back. Cornelia Funke is one of the best children's writers I have seen in a long time. Her books are all so fun to read and easy to understand, yet have a level of complexity that makes them interesting. Creative characters and plots are just a few of the tasty ingredients that Funke uses in her recipe for a book kids will love reading for generations to come. I would rate this book: Must Read 5 Stars: * * * * * |
