365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #72: Igraine the Brave

I certainly don't think you need to be big to be brave, all it take is a little heart and courage. It would interesting to give this a read to see if Igraine saves the day.

Book: Igraine the Brave written and illustrated by Cornelia Funke

Description:

Do You Have to Be Big to Be Brave?

Igraine, who turns twelve tomorrow, dreams of becoming a famous knight. But today, like most days, life at the family castle remains...rather boring.

Until the nefarious nephew of the baroness-next-door shows up. Greedy Osmund's got a dastardly plan to capture Pimpernel Castle and steal the magic books that belong to Igraine's mom and dad. Complicating matters, on the eve of the siege her parents misspeak a spell and turn themselves into pigs!

Igraine's birthday wish has come true, and the challenge is bigger than she ever bargained for: Can she find the courage to save the day -- and the books?
