Eragon by Christopher Paolini


Book Recommended by Alexandra C.

Lawrenceville Branch

When a simple farm boy named Eragon finds a blue stone while hunting, he things nothing of it; just a pretty thing to trade for food for his family. But, when the stone suddenly hatches a dragon, Eragon’s world is turned upside-down. Then an old storyteller named Brom tells him about the legendary Dragon Riders and the ancient comradeship between the Riders and their dragons, Eragon realizes that he must take up the calling of the Riders. Suddenly, he is thrust into a world full of danger especially now that King Galbatorix, whose evil know no bounds, is hunting him. Pursued by his dark minions, Eragon must learn to fight or die on his adventure.

Somewhat easy to read, this captivating book holds its reader from cover to cover. I would recommend this to dragon-readers and also the Dragonspell series by Donita K. Paul
