Falcon was a great character when she first appeared in 1995, in the magical "Falcon's Egg." At long last, she is back, with more magic than ever. This time Falcon is surrounded by a new collection of wacky, fascinating characters, most notably Blinda the Charles Street Witch and Dirus Horribilus the old dragon (with a digestive problem whose consequences make for one of the book's most hilarious scenes). This is a book a kid can get happily lost in, while soaking up Luli Gray's witty, sophisticated and lyrical storytelling.

In this second Falcon book, she has even more friends, and more dragons. If you like dragons and friendly witches and hilarious saints, you'll love this book. It's a great, great story!

The first Falcon book, "Falcon's Egg", was a great insight into what a child of separated parents goes through. Falcon has to take care of her brother Toody as her mother is unable to deal with raising her kids and so she bears much responsibility on her young shoulders. Finding Egg, and the adventures that follow, give her a powerful secret and something she could choose to care for. What she learns is that loving something sometimes means letting it go, and that there are people in your life who will share some of the weight of world with you if you let them.

In this book, the sequel, Falcon watches as Toody is swept out of a plane and she follows him as she tries to save him. From that moment on, these two enter a world that is both real and fantasy. There is more magic in this book than in the first, and it is sillier. But it is a very enjoyable silliness that contrasts with the seriousness of "Falcon's Egg". I particularly liked Dirius, the old dragon with a little gas problem (hilarious) and Belinda Chomondley, the Charles Street Witch.

I really didn't like the book that much because. For one it went slow the writer didnt give a good discription because I couldint really see the character in my head. Some of the chapters were really long it didn't give any breaks at all. So next time im not going to pick a book called the Falcons Egg.
The worst part in the book was in the biggining. They didn't discribe any really good details of where they were at I didn't know if they were outside. Or inside. The only time I really knew they were outside is when they were talking about were they got the egg. That's the only time I knew through most of the book.
The thing the author did really good was when they were discribing the setting. Just this once, It was in the forest. They were tring to the egg back to the mother. And the conflict, the writer did a pretty good job on that. It was funny when they were fighting. About people that wanted to keep the egg and the other people that wanted to give it back so it wouldn't die.

This book is about a girl named Falcon who finds an egg in Central Park. She brings it to her neighbour, Arlene Taylor, who takes care of the egg. Falcon's Aunt Emily finnds out soon enough and tells her friend, an ornithologist, to find out what is inside.They form a secret society, "The Friends of Egg." When the egg hatches, the creature inside is a dragon! Is it hard to keep a dragon without your mother discovering it?
