The Dragon Rider

This book was The Dragon Rider, by Cornelia Funke. It was an okay book, but I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone our age, because it was a big boring and childish. I think it was meant to be read by someone a bit younger than year 8, so overall it was a pretty good book.

It's about a dragon, Firedrake, who has to find a home for his family of dragons, because humans were going to take over where they lived, so he goes with a brownie, Sorrel, and a human boy, Ben. They try to find a hidden place which it is said that dragons used to stay, carefree of humans, because the humans there knew of them, called the Rim of Heaven. However, a giant dragon, with pure gold scales, who eats other dragons, finds out about their expedition and trys to follow them, so that he could find the other dragons.
