Ms. Johnson’s Book Recommendation 

Eragon

Fantasy; F PAO

Description: There hasn’t been a dragon rider in years, but when Eragon, a farm boy, finds a strange blue stone in the woods while hunting, that all changes. His life is turned upside down seemingly overnight. Now he is on the run from the evil king, trying to survive alongside Brom, a mysterious storyteller who is more than he appears.
