Igraine the Brave

by Cornelia Funke

Igraine longs to be a legendary knight like her great-grandfather. But life at the family castle is slow and uneventful—until the villainous nephew of the baroness-next-door shows up with a plan to steal her parents’ magical, singing spell books.
To make matters worse, during the attack, her magician parents misfire a spell and turn themselves into pigs.
Now it’s up to Igraine to summon her courage. With help from a Gentle Giant and a Sorrowful Knight, she’ll have to defend the castle, protect the books, and save the day!
