Igraine the Brave

Igraine dreams of becoming a famous knight just like her great-grandfather, but life at the family castle is rather boring. That changes when the nephew of the baroness-next-door shows up with a plan to capture the castle and claim the magical singing spell books that belong to Igraine's magician parents. During the siege, Igraine's parents accidentally turn themselves into pigs. With the help of a Gentle Giant and a Sorrowful Knight, Igraine must be brave and save the day, as well as the books. In the spirit of Dragon Rider and The Thief Lord, an enchanting fairy tale told with Cornelia's trademark warmth and perfect Funke fare for readers in the middle grades-Cornelia's "sweet spot"!
