Review of: Dragon Rider

Dragon Rider is a book written by Cornelia Funke (pronounced foonka by the way). The story is set in Europe, and is about a dragon, a brownie, and a dragon rider (duh).

A dragon named Firedrake sets out on a quest to find the mysterious "Rim of Heaven", the last safe place for dragons on earth. Humans are coming to the dragons' valley, and they need to move. So Firedrake, along with Sorrel the brownie search for the Rim of Heaven, picking up a human named Ben along the way.

They face dangerous foes, find friends in unlikely places, and have the adventure of their lives.

CAMP!!!

Well, sorry I haven't blogged in forever! It's not like I have any readers... Anyway, I just went to Doe River Gorge last week and had the best week of my life! It is such a wonderful place to make friends and get closer to God. During the week, we did the "Leap of Faith" (which is just a giant telephone pole that you jump off while in a harness), paintball, mountain climbing, and horseback riding. Today, I applied to work there next summer (for 88 days!) and the application was 10 pages long! I guess they need a lot of information, so they don't hire someone crazy (not that I'm not crazy!!!!!). I desperately hope they accept my application and I can work there next year. I keep saying "work", but technically, they don't pay you, it's more of a volunteer thing and if you want money, you have to raise it at your church or something... While I was there last week, 26 people were saved! That means 26 more people are going to Heaven!!!! Woot! Anyway, I'm gonna go, I'm starving!
