#BookReview: The Griffin's Feather (Dragon Rider #2) by Cornelia Funke

About the Book:

The sequel to the #1 New York Times Bestseller!

It's now been two years since Ben and Firedrake defeated Nettlebrand and rescued the silver dragons. Both boy and dragon have finally found homes, but they must live hundreds of miles apart and can only see each other every once in a while.

During one such visit, news reaches Ben, the Greenblooms, and their friends that the last Pegasus in the world has been discovered. The legendary horse has three unhatched eggs with him, but the only way they'll ever hatch -- and continue the survival of this incredible magical species -- is to place them under a griffin's feather. But griffins are the most dangerous creatures in the world, and their mortal enemies are dragons... 

Ben has vowed not to tell Firedrake about his quest, to protect him. But as he and the Greenbloom team set off for a remote island where the terrible griffins are rumored to live, he may just need the help of his best friend and dragon...

My Review:  This one picks up two hours after the first book and man was it good!  I really enjoyed book one and this book was fabulous! Funke knows how to get you interested into a story and really makes you want to never finish.  This fantasy is one of those books like Harry Potter it gets kids reading and makes them want to read and man this one has DRAGONS so how cool is that.  I could see this one for boys or girls.  I did feel like the last half of the book was a little rushed and this could have been a full on 500 page book and would have been fine.  If you love fantasy you should check this one out!
