Sinossi
Quando gli umani minacciano di invadere la valle dove dimora la sua stirpe, Lung, giovane drago argentato, decide di partire alla volta dell'Himalaya. Su quelle vette, secondo le leggende, si cela l'antico paradiso dei draghi. Nessuno sa se questo luogo esiste davvero, ma è l'unica speranza per i suoi simili di poter vivere in pace. Insieme alla sua inseparabile cobolda Fiore di Zolfo e al giovane cavaliere Ben, Lung affronterà un lungo e pericoloso viaggio... Due anni dopo, una nuova minaccia incombe sulle creature fantastiche: i pegasi, i leggendari cavalli alati, rischiano di estinguersi. Per salvare gli ultimi puledri, Ben giungerà in Indonesia, dove insieme a vecchi e nuovi alleati si lancerà nell'impresa impossibile di trovare una penna di grifone, la più feroce delle creature fiabesche e nemica giurata dei draghi. Riuscirà a tenere il fedele Lung lontano dal pericolo? Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

Classic Coming of Age Story -- Minus the love triangles, savior complexes, and completely stupid decisions that plague many of the YA fiction I've read The Dragons of this world are scattered.

One's never too old for a good fairy-tale. This quest-like adventures have all the ingredients to make exciting children's fantasy.

$1.99 Kindle sale, June 4, 2018. This is a older middle grade/YA novel from Cornelia Funke, the talented author of the Inkheart series. It's a great epic adventure novel for younger readers. It's very different than Harry Potter, but I think it would appeal to the same types of readers. HERE BE DRAGO Leggi tutto
There is a crazy freedom to this plot that reminds me of the sweet weirdness of a Pixar film. It has everything from rats flying miniature biplanes to Scottish Brownies riding dragons, making this a madcap adventure. But it is also the sensitive coming-of-age story of a boy trying to find a family. N Leggi tutto
I tried very hard to get into this book, but like Ink Heart it just didn't catch me. Something about the way Funke writes puts a distance between me and the story that just makes it impossible for me become fully engaged. The classic fantasy archetype of friends on a quest, tons of magical creatures Leggi tutto
Dragon Rider is a good dragon book that doesn't delve too deeply into dragon lore, preferring to stand on it's own as more of an adventure tale involving dragons. The premise of the book is that the lair of a group of dragons is threatened and one of their own - Firedrake - is the only one willing a Leggi tutto
I think it's important to note that I listened to the audio version of this book because it is, without a doubt, the reason I disliked it so much. Funke's story seems pretty good, and if I had read it, I imagine it would have been closer to 3 or 4 stars. However, it must be said that the narrator Br Leggi tutto
