Germany’s beloved children’s author Cornelia Funke made her stunning U.S. debut with The Thief Lord, which spent 19 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was named New York Times Notable Book Of The Year. Since then, she’s enchanted millions of fantasy lovers with her wildly successful novels, including but not limited to Dragon Rider, the highly acclaimed New York Times bestselling Inkheart trilogy (which inspired a major motion picture), the Ghosthunter series, and Igraine the Brave. No wonder she’s been dubbed the “German J.K. Rowling”!
This is a trilogy that involves the girl’s adventure. Maybe modern day Nancy Drew!
