AUTHOR:Cornelia Funke


The book I'm reading is a very interesting book because it is full of adventure and mystical creatures. On the first page of the book a dragon named Firedrake is sleeping but then suddenly a rat comes and tells the whole tribe of dragons the bad news. The humans are coming, and the elder dragon tells every one that their is a myth that their is a magical place in the Himalayas called the rim of heaven, he says its a safe place to live and no humans can find you. Only Firedrake believes that there is a place called the rim of heaven and only he is going. They flew for a few days to get to a big city to find the rats cousin because the rats cousin specializes in making maps, they land in a trash dump so no one will see them.

They were talking about where the rats cousin would be and suddenly something moves behind the crates, but they don't know what it is so Firedrake decides to find out. He walks over their and suddenly a boy pops out, The boy somehow acted calm and just kept staring at the dragon. Firedrake asks him what he's doing in a dump, and he says he lives here. Firedrake found out that the boy is actually homeless and lives in the dump. The boy then helps the dragon find where the rats cousin is, He takes him to a giant abandoned building and inside they find a giant white rat.
