Igraine's fairy-tale life comes to a halt when her parents mistakenly (magically) turn themselves into pigs and she's the only one who can procure a cure. Brother stays behind to guard the treasured Singing Magic Books from the Spikey Knight. Igraine has spunk and a great sense of humor, so girls will probably love her. Line drawn illustrations. ( )I quite enjoyed this tale of Igraine the Brave. She is a gutsy girl who just wants to be a knight. She has absent-minded magical parents. She learns the importance of honor and bravery and integrity. I might even consider adding it to my physical library! Great Cornelia Funke book for a younger crowd (though I enjoyed it also :). Igraine needs to go on an adventure to save her parents (who, while using magic to make her bday present, turned themselves into pigs), their magic books and the kingdom from an evil/greedy seige. A girl who wants to be a knight but her parents and her annoying older brother do not agree. Her parents are the best magicians in the land. When her parents turn themselves into pigs while trying to make her birthday present, Igraine has to travel on a horse to find the Gaint Garleff. Great book for 3rd-6th grade. 0.035 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
