Book Review For Kids, By Kids- Igraine the Brave

May 16, 2015

For those of you who are looking for new books appropriate for middle grade that both boys and girls might enjoy, this is the place to look!

Every month, at least one new book will be added for review right here and they will be reviewed by the best critics, KIDS! That’s right, the one’s who read them will be the judge!

This blog is written by my fourteen year old niece, Rebecca. She’s extremely creative, smart, and follows in her father’s footsteps when it comes to her love of questing books such as The Hobbit, LOTR, or Star Wars. She’s dabbled in writing her own short quests and designing fashion, namely elf fashion. She has a great love for reading and writing and anything that involves creativity.

And now, introducing our next middle grade book review for kids, by kids!

Book Review of Igraine the Brave

by Cornelia Funke

Setting:

The setting of this book in at Pimpernel Castle. Pimpernel castle is a magical castle that has stone gargoyles that can talk, eat arrows, and even eat entire cannon balls. The castle is also protected by a huge moat that can turn people into fish and two huge lions that roar at the sign of danger. The castle is very old and covered in moss.

Main Character:

The main character’s name is Igraine. She is the daughter of the two most powerful
magicians in the land, the Fair Melisande and Sir Lamorak the Witty. Her brother, Albert, is a magician in training. Igrane is a very cocky girl and wants to be a knight not a magician.

Personal Review:

I liked this book because it had magic and was very exciting. I like Igraine because she
reminds me of myself. I loved the quest she goes on because it has so many cool creatures like a giant and dragon.

There is no movie for this but she has written other amazing books like Inkheart.

There you have it! If you’ve read it or have any thoughts about this book or any other book you’d like to talk about, please leave a comment below and share with the rest of us! If you have a favorite book, share it! We are ALWAYS looking for the next GREAT book to read!

Till next time,

Linda Louise and Rebecca

Author Bio

Linda

I’m Linda Louise, one of the bloggers on this website and Colleen’s little sister. I’m just a girl in her mid-thirties who feels thirteen when I play outside with my boys, fifteen when I sing my heart out listening to tunes while driving by myself, and sixty five when I go out past ten at night. I have a thing for junior mints, Mt. Dew, shrimp and kale (though not all at once) and I have a crush on Superman. I still get girlish butterflies when I read Twilight, cry when I read These is My Words, and smile from ear to ear when I read Anne of Green Gables. I have nightmares about aliens on a regular basis and I have a bad habit of midnight snacking. I love everything sports, except golf (although can that honestly be considered a sport??), and I hate anything that slithers, hisses, or stings. I have a problem with giggling at inappropriate moments and I sometimes wish life was a musical. I love science, hate math, love Dr. Seuss, and hate olives. My family is my world and my joys come from their happiness. I’ve learned I don’t know much about anything and I live for a good adventure, naps, cuddles, stories, exceptional food and The Shire.
