I have to start this by saying I love Cornelia Funke and her work. DragonRider is one of my family's favorite read together books. It seemed to me that this was a really badly edited or translated version. There were a lot of mistakes that even my 7 year old noticed. It was not the Kindle edition, but the Scholastic hardback version. Plot mistakes, word mistakes...
Was really hard to get through. ( )

A fantastic heartwarming action adventure. A real joy to read.

This is the sequel to Dragon Rider, which I needed to look up when I read it -- 14 years ago!! How is that possible?
I needed to recap the first book to remember characters and the general plot. The Griffin's Feather picks up about 2 years where Dragon Rider ended. 14 year old Ben is living in Norway with his adopted family, who save Fabulous creatures. They discover a Pegasus and three eggs, but there is a problem. In order to save the Pegasus eggs, they must find a Griffin's feather. Griffin's and dragons go back as enemies, so there is some suspense. The book is written for younger readers -- upper elementary age. It is not as dark as Funke's other material and the main characters meet friends who help them on their journey.
Good book! ( )
