Fantasy

Pages: 544
Grade Level: 7


The book Eragon, by Christopher Paolini, was by a large chance the BEST book I have ever read. A teenager, named Eragon, lives on a farm with his cousin and his uncle. One day, Eragon hunts for food in a forbidden place called the Spine. He sees a polished, blue stone in front of him. Eragon forgets about his hunting and returns to his farm with the stone in hand. The next day, the rock cracked and a dragon came out. Eragon reached for it, and a mark appeard on his hand which binded his mind to the Dragon. In about a week, the Dragon grows almost as big as Eragon. Strange creatures arrive at Eragon's home and start destroying everything. Including his uncle. Eragon runs away from his farm seeking revenge. Eragon names his Dragon Saphira. Saphira is a female dragon, and able to fly. With her, Eragon sets fourth to a place where Elves roam the land, and where he can get the training he needs to get his revenge.

Eldest

By Christopher Paolini

Pages: 704
Grade Level: 7

Another one of my favorite books is the sequel to Eragon: Eldest. Yes, I know what you're thinking, it's a sequel to one of the best selling books, Eragon. Eldest takes place after Eragon kills a beast known as "The Shade." After the battle, Eragon becomes famous in some continents. He continues his way to the land he originally set out to. The story also shows the point of view from Eragon's cousin, Roran. Roran, survived the attack and tries to marry the butcher's daughter. However, since he has no farm, no money, and the butcher is very strict, Roran has a hard time. The beasts' who destroyed most of Roran's farm comes back. Roran, and all of the towns people must kill the beasts, as well as the soldiers to survive. If you liked Eragon, you’ll love Eldest!

When The Wind Blows is an amazing fantasy by James Patterson. It is about a man trying to find himself, a lady trying to find love, and a girl trying to find freedom. A girl named Max breaks out of a crazy place called the “school.” It is a place where mutated kids are put to sleep or tested. Max is one of the mutated kids…she has wings. She has a brother who is just like her and a baby brother who has that same gift.

One day, Max and her brother Matthew break out of this horrible place. Later they realize they have to go back…their fate awaits them.
