Eragon



The book I read is called Eragon it is about a 13 year-old boy named Eragon that finds a dragon egg in the mid-evil times. At first the boy thinks it normal rock the rock kind of exploded out of no were on the Spine Mountains , then he takes it back to trade for some deer he was suppost to hunt, but the butcher Sloan wouldn’t take it because it was from the spine. Then he goes home to examine it, but in the middle of the night a baby dragon hatches from it he then touches it and gets the gedway insga or the mark of dragons then an old story teller finds out and gives him a sword some naming choices and some magic practice, then before you know it there in the middle of the desert practicing magic looking for the vardan an army opposed to the evil king galbritix. About halfway through the desert they meet the raazac (beetle like things higher by galbritix) one of them is killed by brom and the other kills him, so now Eragon is just with his dragon saphera, then they save an elf named arua and take her to varden.
Then the book ended.
