Is a thrilling fantasy about courage, friendship, and adventure. my favourite character was Firedrake, the brave and kind-hearted dragon, whose journey to find the Rim of heaven was truly inspiring. i would recommend it to fantasy lovers and anyone who enjoys magical heartfelt stories.

The cover doesn't look the same, but I think I have the right book, here's my review: It took me a bit more than a week to read this, but my time wasn't wasted AT ALL. I love dragons and I think it was really good. A young dragon called Firedrake sets off to find the run of heaven, a place that is heaven for all dragons. But no one has ever found it. Because his home is being flooded, he sets off to find it with his friend brownie, Sorrel. On the way he meets a human called Ben and they go on together. An evil Dragon called Nettlebrand the golden one is followed them though, and if you want to find out any more then you'll have to read the book. 5 out of 5.
