Whoa.
This book is almost higher on my list of favorites than Deathly Hallows (see next post). Anyways, it's about a farm boy called Eragon who finds a beautiful stone in the mountains and takes it home and tries to buy food with it. After discovering he can't sell it, he puts it in his room as decoration. But one night it cracks and out pops a baby dragon. He has become one of the legendary Dragon Riders. I can't spoil much more, but I will tell you that it is a wonderful read, very vivid. I can still see Eragon's first time using magic.
If you haven't guessed the Riders could use magic, oops. If you have, good for you. They could.
I suggest this book for 5th-12th graders. Enjoy!

Sounds great! Can I borrow it?
ReplyDeleteI did see the movie, and to be honest, was less than thrilled. However, after reading your review I feel like I now need to give the book a try. I will be sure to go the library and pick it up! Thanks for the tip on the book!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elena, I didn't really get the movie. That siad, I may be willing to give the book a shot.
ReplyDeletePlease do read the the book. I really would like to talk to someone about it.
ReplyDeleteWatch for a post on Eldest, book 2, which I'm almost finished reading. By the way, Michele, you can definitely borrow Eragon, just finish what you are currently reading first.
