Cornelia Funke



Dominic from Year 6 goes to Walters Road Public School and is the brother of Hayden in Year 8. He has recently read two books by Cornelia Funke and has two different opinions about them:

'Dragon Rider'
I liked this book because it is about a dragon called FIREDRAKE who is on a quest to find the Rim of Heavens, and the humans who are planning to flood the valley. So Firedrake and Sorrel, a brownie, set off. Along the way they find a small friendly boy named Ben and a professor and his wife, Mrs. Greenbloom; Twigleg, a homuncles and Gravelbeard. They also made a powerful enemy by the name of Nettlebrand.

I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an adventure!

'Inkheart'
The story base line is that Silvertongue is hiding a book called Inkheart. It is the only copy in the world. But of course there is someone who betrays Silvertongue. Morris has a daughter named Meggie. She meets a friend named Dustfinger. On the way they meet an awful and powerful enemy named Capercion.

The book did not turn out how I wanted it to turn out. It wasn't as good as Dragon Rider. I didn't like this particular book because it wasn't as adventurous as it sounded on the blurb.

Read a review of Dragon Rider written by Luke last year when he was in Year 8 here.
