This is my favorite design in my shop, and I'm so excited to have it available as an art print, sticker, and bookmark!

You can check them out at www.2125Books.com 💜

It would mean so much if you'd consider supporting my small business, whether by purchasing a gift for a fantasy reader you know or by tagging someone you think might love this! Both are helpful 😊 Thank you!

This book was a recommendation from my local library's speed dating for books. I decided to audio listen on my drive home yesterday, but just struggled to get into this one. Maybe it was just too much on the fantasy side of life, or Who knows...

Traci1 Cornelia Funke's Inkheart is in my top 3 books of all time. But I struggled to get through Dragon Rider. It was very forgettable. 1y
Deifio Oh no! My kids and I really love the book. Hope you find another book that's more to your liking ☺️ 1y

As much as I thought this book was fun it just earns a so-so from me but it was so close to being a pick. Firedrake, a dragon teams up with a lonely boy named Ben to go on a journey to find the place where silver dragons live in piece. This book takes you on the journey with them. With adventure at every turn who knows where this book may take you.

An okay book. I think it was engaging but the overall topic of dragons doesn‘t really interest me. I do like the personification in it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This story is so great! I‘m waaay outside the target audience, but I‘ve loved Funke‘s work since I was 9 (you can see my battered copies of her other books peeking out behind this one!) and I found this story of dragons absolutely charming!

wordslinger42 She's one of my favorite authors! I did a happy dance when I found out she's writing another book in the Inkheart series!! 😅 4y

I am a huge fan of Cornelia Funke. I have always enjoyed reading, but I venture to say that the Inkheart serious made me love reading. The Theif Lord was also an amazing read. I have had this one my shelf for a long time, and when I saw that Brendan Fraiser read the audiobook, I had to listen. It was AMAZING. I 1000% recommend. Fraiser really knocks it out the park, it almost feels like a cast of people reading it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

smilingshelves I've read this one in both print and audio, and I agree that the narrator made this one an awesome audio experience! 5y

Being artsy while listening to Dragon Rider. Cornelia Funke is one of my favorite authors. I devoured the Inkheart trilogy multiple times when I was younger. This book is being read by Brendan Fraiser and it is absolutely amazing. He's fantastic at bringing the book to life. #AudioArt

Genre: Fantasy
Date Started: September 12
Date Completed: September 19
I don't like reading fantasy books, but I decided to get myself familiar with this genre again.
The story is about a dragon named Firedrake. Him, along with the friends he makes throughout his journey, try to revive an ancient race of dragons before the Nettlebrand (the antagonist) eats him, along with the other dragons. He collects moonlight as Nettlebrand's spies chase them.

carmens.library @mcipher I actually made it myself. I use vanilla cream soda and add a very small amount of butter extract and rum extract. I make it for my kids all the time so I decided I should make official labels 😂 5y

Rating: 3.5 Stars

This is a middle grade fantasy. Honestly the world and characters are really interesting but the plot didn‘t really blow me away. I will probably continue to book 2 if I can find the audiobook on Scribd. But won‘t go out of my way to purchase it.

I don't #reread much, but I just finished rereading Dragonrider, a children's book about a journey to find a new home for the last of the dragons. It was released 19 years ago and this month a sequel was released.
When I was 5 years old, my father read this to me and I still think audiobooks read by parents are the best ones 😊

I throughly loved this book! Dragons, brownies, and the sweetest orphan boy you will ever meet go on an action packed adventure to save the dragons. They run into trouble and other fairy tale creatures on their mission to find a safe place to live away from humans and the terrible golden one. The ending melted my mommy heart. I loved it.

Dragon Rider is one of the novels which got me into fantasy. It stayed with me since I was 6/7, when my mom read it to me and I read it again and again.
It follows the journey of the dragon Firedrake, the Brownie Sorrel and the boy Ben as they search for the Rim of Heaven, a safe haven for dragons..
