Dragon Rider
Cornelia Funke
The Chicken House, 2004
Great Imagery
I have never been a reader of high fantasy. I listened to this book on tape. The acting and voices of Brendan Frazier were more entertaining than any movie.
I enjoyed the length of the story. It was just right.
The dragons are leaving their home after many years ...

The Thief Lord
Cornelia Funke
The Chicken House, 2003
One of my favorites
There is something so absolutely haunting about this book that capture me the first time I read it. Set in the romantic city of Venice, it tales the story of two orphans who run into a group of other orphans. This all stems from the rather classic idea of poor little ...

Last Battle of the Icemark
Great book. Funny,intriguing, and sad. I really hate that this is the last one in the series. I will miss the great characters who have become almost like friends. The constant struggle between good and evil and the struggle of the bonds of family and the desire for ...

Pirate Girl
Cornelia Funke, Chantal Wright
The Chicken House, 2005
Ahoy! A pirate tale for girls, and boys!
I'm sure we don't ONLY love this book because we have our own Pirate Molly! What fun - a precocious but adorable little girl, a funny story, and a hilarious twist in the end. The pictures are great, too!

Listen To Your Inner Rabbit
This book involves a bunch of 16 year old kids, mostly boys. And a rabbit. Three actually. Think trinity. No sense in reviewing the storyline. Look above for that. Pete and Raymond are best friends, even though Raymond is a little odd. His black rabbit passes ...

great children's book
I love reading this book to my little girl. It is one of the few books in which the characters neither act good or bad because of thier appearance. Usually the beautiful princess is either good or bad because she is beautiful rather than morality coming out of choices ...
