IGRAINE THE BRAVE
By Cornelia Funke

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!

Excerpt:
Igraine woke up because something was crawling over her face.  Something with a a lot of legs.  She opened her eyes and there it was, sitting right on the end of her nose, a fat black spider.  Igraine was scared stiff of spiders.   “Sisyphus!” she whispered in a trembling voice.  “Wake up, Sisyphus.  Shoo that spider away!”
