DRAGON RIDER POST 2

I am reading Dragon Rider by Cornella Funke. I read 75 pages and am enjoying the action and mental picture I am getting when I read.

Qusetion: Have you had action or drama in your book? What kind and what was it?

My favorite part in the section I read was when it described firedrake (dragon) slithering in the water like a snake in a canal.
I enjoyed that part because I really like dragons and I could picture the movie anacanda with a dragon replaced with the water snake.

The coolest part of the section was when the dragon let out a sigh and "it showered blue sparks" which was quoted from the book. I liked that because I could see instead of water in my shower it would be blue sparks.
