Eragon

// Eragon // by Christopher Poloni.

[|Amazon.com]

This is a novel about a poor, orphaned farm boy named Eragon who grows up hearing fantastic stories about the dragon riders of the past. His village is ruled by the cruel king, Galbatorix, a former dragon rider. One day when Eragon was out hunting a huge explosion occurred and when the smoke cleared a large, blue egg was left behind. Eragon kept the egg until one night it hatched and a baby dragon emerged from the cracking shell. The baby dragon sniffed him and as it did, a scar appeared on Eragon’s hand. At that moment he knew that he was a chosen one; he would be the next dragon rider. Now he knew what his mission was. He and his dragon must overthrow the wicked Galbatorix and return the kingdom to peace.

My favorite part of the book is when the baby dragon sniffs Eragon and he finds out that he has been chosen to be a dragon rider.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes reading fantasy action stories. It is a fast moving novel full of exciting battles between the good and evil.
