Eragon by: Christopher Paolini (Book Talk)

This bok is about a young man named Eragon who finds his life turned upside down and inside out in one night. When he finds a polished blue oval stone he thinks that it mught buy him, his cousin and his uncle some food and clothes for the winter. He's not expecting it to be a dragon egg. When the dragon hatches, he thinks he can hide it, but he's seriously mistaken! There are suddenly strangers in town that are looking for a stone; they are describing it as a polished blue oval stone. Eragon and his dragon Saphira are forced to flee, all they have are the clothes on Eragon's back, stolen meat, stolen hides (for a saddle), and Brom the old storyteller.
(Hook and back of book)
I recommend this book to kids between the ages of 10 and 14. I think girls or boys will enjoy this book. If you like long reads, fantasy, action, and series then you might want to try this book. The fourth book isn't out yet so you might want to consider reading it slowly or reading it next year because it leaves you hanging at the end of the third book.
You can find this book in Chapters, Indigo, Kids Books, the public library, and here at school.
