  <default_description>Princess 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!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Igraine wears magical armor, goes to a giant for hairs for a potion and helps a knight regain his honor. There are so many characters vying for a slice of the magical power that I didn't feel Igraine was a strong main character. It is a good story about dedication to family and chivalry.

    <body><![CDATA[Cornelia Funke has a winner with Igraine the Brave. Just right for the lovers of fairy tales, magic, or fantasy, on the sweeter side of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;. Igraine is a spirited and loyal heroine, who uses her brain and her skills to help the people she cares about.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this to my kids, one chapter a night.  I chose it because we really enjoyed Funke's picture books for younger kids, and my oldest daughter was ready for something longer.  I LOVED this book!  It hit just the perfect tone of exciting-but-not-too-scary for a five year old.
