I read. It is a simple fact about my life. I love to read. One of the authors I have been reading lately is Cornelia Funke. She is a German writer who has written such chilren's books as Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath, The Thief Lord, and, of course, Dragon Rider. I first picked up Dragon Rider because someone else had recommended it and because of its eye-catching cover. As I began to read it, it seemed to me much the same as many other fantasy books I had read. The first chapters seemed slow to me; however, as I read on, I found that I could not put the book down.
The story of Dragon Rider is the story of a dragon, a brownie (the mystical creature kind, not the dessert), and a boy who finds his calling to be a "dragon rider." Together they search for the Rim of Heaven, a place where the remaining dragons on earth can live in safety. In this blog, I hope to outline the plot of the book, explain why I enjoyed it so much, and convince you to read it.
