Description - Igraine the Brave by Cornelia Funke

Igraine is a high-spirited princess living in a fairytale castle with her eccentric magician parents, her older brother who longs to be the new Merlin (but whose tricks are always going wrong) and her talking cat. She dreams of becoming a famous kni ght like her great-grandfather, riding in tournaments and honouring the family name. But instead, life is rather boring. Until the day the unscrupulous nephew of the Baroness next door arrives with his horrible henchman, intent on capturing both the castle and her parents' wonderful singing magic books. Worse still, at the very moment of the attack, her brother's latest spell goes wrong and her parents are turned into pigs! Igraine sets out to save the day, and with the help of a Gentle Giant and a Sorrowful Knight manages to put everything right (and rescue her parents) while learning the true meaning of chivalry.
