21857 Task 10: Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke

12/31
Jul 20, 2012 11:36PM

21857 I'm on leave so have plenty of time and want to read the other one anyway...

21857 Even though he is one of my favourite characters, Barrie's story does not make it clear if he uses fairy dust. He definitely does things differently to the other boys at times. I will read the other book for the challenge, just to be sure.

One of my favourite Peter Pan things is the movie, Finding Neverland. Johny Depp plays James Barrie and it is the story of how he came to write the play Peter Pan. I also love the kid who plays Peter.

21857 It was over 200 pages, so that is not an issue. I know the others need fairy dust to fly, but I am not sure about Peter. I know he develops the ability to fly on his own in Peter and the Starcatchers, so I will read the second of that series anyway. I adore anything Peter Pan so any excuse to read more...

21857 Cool, now I really wish I could go for a holiday on a boat like that...
Jul 20, 2012 08:52AM

21857 Would Peter Pan be acceptable for Task 14 Super powers as he can fly?
Jul 20, 2012 08:02AM

21857 Yes, I think that would be the most awesome holiday, except maybe diving with Tiger sharks at Aliwal Shoul...

21857 Would this work? I think sailing in an old ship would be amazing?

I am always up for a read along or buddy read. The only problem is that I have to buy the book and that can take some time, which is why I hardly ever read the BoM. I read those only..."


Sign me up for Contact, definitely! I would also be interested in Kraken if you decide to do that one!

I'll join this one. I have the book and it's on my TBR shelf, even though I am not sure why as it is not my usual type of choice. Maybe I will learn to like this kind of book better with a read along. I'm pretty flexible with when, so just let me know what everyone else decides.
