Adventure

Inkheart is my favorite. ( )

Flashing back to HS- I saw a dragon, and that was enough for me to grab it off the library's shelf and read it. I remember eating frozen pizza and reading away my afternoons with this book. (I can still smell frozen pizza whenever I see this book cover) Whimsical, well-written, at times sassy, and all around a delightful read. I think it covers all the emotional ranges, so it is a fun rollercoaster. It's a long read, but it isn't slow or boring at all. I think any fan of How to Train your Dragon or Eragon (movie or books) would also love this book. I believe this would be a good children's bedtime story if you are looking for a chapter-style book to try out (That is, if your kids don't snatch it and finish it themselves.) Enjoyable for all ages! Enough there to hold the attention of both a busy adult and an energetic child. ( )

If you are reading the print version, STOP! Get your hands on the audio version read by Brendan Fraser. He breathes life into the characters with a variety of voices and even sound effects. Though intended for children, this adventure story is entertaining and exciting for all ages. It’s a sad time for dragons. Firedrake, a young dragon, must flee his home because humans are planning to destroy the valley where he resides. He must find the Rim of Heaven, but he is being pursued by a monster dragon, Nettlebrand, who was created by can alchemist. During his quest, Firedrake meets Ben, a young boy, as well as others, who come together to try to help the dragons. It’s quite a tale of courage and perseverance, of good versus evil, and of love and friendship. To get the most of this fine tale, listen to the audio version - Brendan Fraser’s outstanding performance adds much to the enjoyment of the adventure. ( )
