In the spirit of Dragon Rider and The Thief Lord, an enchanting
fairy tale told with Cornelia's trademark warmth and wit: Perfect Funke
fare for readers in the middle grades-Cornelia's "sweet spot"!
Igraine dreams of becoming a famous knight just like her great
grandfather, but the truth is, life at the family castle is rather
boring. Until the nephew of the baroness-next-door shows up. He's got a
dastardly plan to capture the castle and claim as his own the wonderful
singing spell books that belong to Igraine's magician parents. To make
matters worse, at the very moment of the siege, her mom and dad botch a
spell, turning themselves into pigs! Aided by a Gentle Giant and a
Sorrowful Knight, it's up to Igraine to be brave and save the day-and
the books!
