(3) 4-6 Translated by Anthea Bell. Ben, a homeless orphan, joins a dragon and a furry, bad-tempered brownie in their quest to find the dragon home at the Rim of Heaven and in their mortal combat with Nettlebrand, a golden dragon-machine who wants to exterminate dragonkind. Despite sentimentality and some implausible motivations, this book delivers for readers who want fantastical events straight up.
