Dragon Rider

2005Cornelia Funke

4.1/5

Classic Coming of Age Story--Minus the love triangles, savior complexes, and completely stupid decisions that plague many of the YA fiction I've readThe Dragons of this world are scattered. The packs have long been broken up and devoured by the Golden One. Firedrake the Dragon remembers hearing of safe place for dragons and so sets off to find it with Sorrel, his Brownie friend. No one thinks he can, no one thinks he will ever come back.Firedrake meets with an orphan boy (Ben) (of course, there has to be an orphan) and once they pick up the homunculus, the quartet is complete. Only, their journey isn't nearly as straightforward it seems and cowardly Twigleg isn't quite what he seems as well. Will they find the other Dragons? What if by finding them, the others become far more in danger than they ever were before?Be prepared for a whirlwind adventure out there full of magic, mystery and mayhem.Audiobook CommentsFunke does such a great job of bringing together elements of a great story. What made this even better? \ Read by Brendan Fraser.\ The way he got into character - from the lisping Twigleg to the accented Brownie, I absolutely was riveted to this audiobook.(this man knows how to read a book)YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Snapchat @miranda.reads Happy Reading!
