Description
Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke is a middle-grade fantasy adventure and the first book in the Dragon Rider series. Firedrake, a brave young dragon, sets out with his brownie companion Sorrel and a lonely boy named Ben on a quest to find the legendary refuge where silver dragons can live safely. Guided by an old map and the memories of an ancient dragon, they travel across lands and seas towards the highest mountains in the world.
Their journey brings unexpected friendships and challenges that test their courage, while a much older and more dangerous threat follows close behind. A good choice for middle-grade readers who enjoy dragons, magical journeys, mythical creatures, friendship and classic good-versus-evil fantasy adventures.
