Eragon

Eragon is a book about a boy named Eragon who gets an extraordinary change to his life. In his country, Alagaesia, there is an evil ruler, King Galbatorix. Eragon explores the Spine, the forest near his home city, Carvahall. One day when he is exploring in the Spine, a bright flash comes out of nowhere, and when Eragon can see again after being nearly blinded, he sees a blue shining object, similar to a sapphire. He goes with his Uncle Garrow to a trading market to see what the gem is worth. None can identify a price, they have never seen an object like this before. Disappointed, Eragon and Garrow return home. Roran, Eragon's cousin, asks how it went. Garrow tells him about no one knows a price for the gem. That night, while Eragon is looking at the gem in wonder, he decides to get up and see what the object feels like. He touches the gem, and it feels like electrocution. After the shock, Eragon sees something he never had expected. The gem had shattered, and standing in it's place was a small, blue, baby dragon. Eragon realized, he is the first Dragon Rider in over a century. As a friend, Brom, the local storyteller, happens to know of Dragon Riders. When he sees Eragon's palm, he is shocked to see it shining, because of a gedwey ignasia, a sign Eragon is a Dragon Rider. Brom begins teaching Eragon about magic. Brom gives Eragon a pebble, and says to lift it without touching it by saying "Stenr risa." As Eragon tries and concludes it impossible to lift the pebble, Brom says, "It is impossible when I say it's impossible. Try again!" After more tries Eragon gets it up, and from that point on, Eragon and Brom go on an exciting adventure full of friends, enemies, and betrayals. This book I can recommend to anyone who loves fantasy involving magic, dragons, that kind of thing.

Time Travel Novels

Timeless by Alexandra Monir

Michele Windsor's life suddenly changes when her mother is killed in a car accident, and she goes to live with her previously unknown, wealthy grandparents in New York City. Michele gets a box with items her mother kept in a safe deposit box at a bank. Enclosed is a old skeleton key that she had seen previously in a dream. Another day she notices a locked drawer in an old desk found in her room. She uses the key to open it and finds a diary written by her ancestor Clara. Suddenly she is pulled back in time to 1910. Clara is the only one who can see her though. Michele returns to the present after a few minutes, but later travels back in time with the help of the diary and key.

While back again in 1910 she sees something strangely familiar about a boy at the Windsor Ball. "Michele saw that behind the mask was a sparkling deep blue. Sapphire eyes. His eyes...the boy from her dream." Michele has dreamed about this boy with vivid detail for as long as she can remember and now she will be able to meet him. However if they are meant to be together, how come they were born in different time periods?

This story is perfect for those looking for a little romance. However I felt Michele and Phillip's relationship needed a little more development. I especially liked the author's note at the end where the author writes about research and shares the books she used in the process.

Warped by Maurissa Guibord

Michele's father own a bookstore in Portland, Maine. She attends an estate auction with him where he buys several boxes of books. In the wooden crates is a very old book with a mysterious tapestry. Michele puts the tapestry in her room and strange things begin to happen. One day Michele pulls out a silver thread. The unicorn that was in the tapestry disappears and William de Chaucy from the 16th century suddenly appears instead.

"'What is it like?' she asked. 'Inside there?' Will de Chaucy regarded her gravely. 'As you can see. A forest.' he answered, 'Exquisitely beautiful. And deadly. And endless.'"

Michele learns that a witch has learned to suspend her life by trapping mortals in the tapestry. Together Michele and William must defeat the witch and restore what she has changed.

Those who enjoy fantasy with a little romance will enjoy this novel.

The Alchemyst

Josh caught a glimpse of his sister just as Dee tossed the crystal. He was partially shielded by Nick and Perry, both of whom were battered to the floor by the light. Josh's vision became a kaleidoscope of black -and-white still images as the light seared the rods and cones at the back of his eyes. He saw Nick drop the metal-bound book onto the floor ... saw two black-clad shapes surround Perry and vaguely heard her scream ... saw Dee snatch the book with a grunt of triumph while Nick groped blindly on the floor.

"You lose, Nicholas," Dee hissed, "as you have always lost. Now I get to take those things most precious to you: your beloved Perenelle and your book."

The Alchemyst is a book full of mystery and legend. Michael Scott turnes history and true facts into fantacy in a really cool way. I could not stop reading this book.

I would reccomend this mostly to kids who like fantasy or adventure.
