TITLE Dragon rider TIME 2 hours
AUTHOR Cornella Funke PAGES 150-210
TOTAL PAGES THIS WEEK 60
I think one of the most interesting part of the book was when the fairies were covering the bulletin board. I thought that was interesting because they talked about how they transported, the way they defend themselves and and why they are annoying. The way these fairies transport is using there tiny wings that let out dust. The dust is there protection is is sleepy dust so whoever smells it gets drowsy. The thing that was also interesting is that it makes dragons more awake like caffeine does for humans. They are annoying because they get in the way of signposts and you cant see where you're going. The little homunculus,Twigleg casts a spell on the flying fairy's to make them go away but rite as the fairies drop to the ground he forgets the rest and the fairy's get angry. Then they release the dust to make the team fall asleep. As this happens Twigleg makes up a spell in the spur of the moment to save his friends from the fairies and it works for a little. Enough time for Firedrake to see the Bolton board and find his directions.
A sad part of the book is howTwigleg is treated by Nettlebrand. Nettlebrand killed all eight of Twiglegs brother. Nettlebrand said that Twigleg is not allowed to fall in love or make friends with humans or else he will die. Twigleg is very close to the human boy. I think that they are friends because they stick up for eachother in debates about what the team should do. Twilgleg would be long gone if that was true. Nettlebrand just uses Twigleg and doesn't let him have any freedom.
