Published before THE THIEF LORD in Germany, DRAGON RIDER established Cornelia Funke as a bestselling and critically acclaimed author. Now, this fantastical epic has come to America!
Firedrake, a young dragon, receives a frightening warning one night: Humans are planning to destroy the valley in which he lives! All the dragons must flee. Their only refuge is a place above the clouds called the Rim of Heaven --- which may not even exist. Firedrake boldly volunteers to go ahead first. As he embarks on his journey, he meets Ben, a runaway boy. Together, the boy & dragon make their way toward the Rim of Heaven, all the while running a step ahead of Nettlebrand, a monster who will stop at nothing to hunt down Firedrake. Their quest will truly become an adventure like no other.

This book was absolutely phenomenal! It tells of a fantastic adventure while being followed by an enemy named Nettlebrand. I highly recommend this book to everyone, for this is a book not to be missed.
FAVORTITE BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funke has made this book a must-read for every dragon lover. A lovely tale that really has a good plot! A really good book for young readers.
I read a while ago, and i couldn't wait to keep reading it... so ..... ONE IF THE BEST BOOKS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
This is a great adventure story with a thrilling conclusion. Ben discovers Firedrake, the dragon in a abandoned warehouse where Firedrake is sleeping, and the quest proceeds in a fun fashion. I recommend this for dragon/ fantasy lovers.
It is a very adventurous book and I am a bid fan of fairy tale books and all. If you see it on the shelves, I highly suggest you pick it up!
This is a great book with mythical characters that are very rare- or the author probably just made them up. It is about a boy who got reincarnated as the new dragon rider and he has to save the dragons from human destruction.
I read this book because my brother read it and said it was good. Its a great book because it has all the parts of a book.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! It is one of the best books I have ever read and I really really recommend it.
