![]() ![]() Funke handles this dilemma well and I felt that I got all I needed as a new reader yet felt compelled enough to want to read the first book too. You want everyone to have the whole story but at the same time you've got to respect the fact that every book could be somebody's first. ![]() It is a tough thing writing a book series. I was initially sceptical about this book thinking that it was a cash in on the Train your Dragon books… then I was afraid that coming in late in a series wouldn't be good I was wrong about both things. This is an utterly brilliant adventure that gripped me from the start and if I was 10 years old this would be one of the most wonderful adventures I could go on. That is if griffins even exist! A gorgeous and loving book that just oozes empathy and care for all of nature. Our plucky adventurers have to seek out a special feather from potentially the most dangerous creature on the planet, a griffin. Despite growing increasingly transparent the eggs are harder than diamond and before too long they will become a tomb for the winged horses inside. The last Pegasus on Earth has three eggs but unfortunately Pegasus eggs need their mother's saliva to allow them to magically grow and their mother died recently. ![]()
