Alright
It's nothing overly new, but it's still very good, nonetheless.

i llike this book beacuse it was time for me to return back to class and i was in a hurry and that's when i saw it. i went home and remembered that i had gotten a book and started reading i couln't stop reading chapter by chapter,getting better and better. so i strongly recomend this book to kids who loved reading, i didn't like reading untill i read this book so mothers read to your daughter and sons and make them learn that there is a whole new world just by reading. thank you for your time and never stop reading

Great Story
This is an amazing book and a must-read for any who love fantasy, adventure, and some comedy. I've always been interested in mythological creatures like Dragons, unicorns, etc., and I think it's great That Cornelia Funke wrote a book that starred dragons, but showed them in a different light than what they're normally given. Usually dragons are portrayed as vicious, treasure-hoarding monsters, but here, they were sentient, and actually gentle creatures. Thumbs up definately!

Good for just about anyone interested
I think telling kids what they can and can't read is rather harsh (coming from a girl who read Harry Potter in 1st grade) and I think anyone who can read this, should be able to read it. Personally, I loved it. I have read Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath, The Thief Lord and Reckless all by Cornelia Funke also. Her books can be a little creepy, but they are entertaining and excellent reads. Enjoy!

excellent story
We listened to the audio book, it was excellent. A few scenes are a bit scary, but overall the book is wonderfully written and a fabulous story. Good prevails. I'm wishing for a sequel!

Great adventure fantasy book, well written by Cornelia Funke, spell binding and wonderful characters. Imagery is vivid and its is certainly written for pure entertainment. Warm, funny, magical and exciting. A great story by a fantastic story teller.

I love this book! I have read it over and over again. I also love Cornelia Funke's other books, such as Theif Lord and Inkheart, although those two would be for slightly older kids.

i loved it
i loved it, it was an adventure it was so detailed i felt like i was actually in the book. just like Cornelia Funke's other books! i would like her to continue to writing her creative books! i really enjoyed it, and i recommend kids to read it if theyre in for an adventure. This is one of the books where you read it at night and want to go to bed but cant because its so interesting. Most books im not able to imagine because there is not much details, but with this book i imagined so much! And at the end of the book i was mad it ended because it was such a masterpiece! I cant wait for Cornelia Funke to make another sequel.
