"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post


When fifteen-year-old Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered, and, gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save—or destroy—the Empire.

This is an excellent children’s book. The story is nice and the language is simple. However, I think it is about 200 pages too long. I think the story could’ve been told I’m a shorter format. That being said, I might’ve also employed this book more if I was in its target audience. I am not. Either way, I love the idea of Eragon and Saphira’s bond. It was beautifully described and honestly quite pure/wholesome.
