Eragon by Christopher Paolini

This is Krish's final episode before his summer break. In this episode, Krish reviews Eragon by Christopher Paolini, the first book in the bestselling Inheritance Cycle series. The story follows a farm boy named Eragon whose life changes forever when he discovers a mysterious blue stone while hunting in the mountains. What begins as a seemingly lucky find soon draws him into a world of dragons, magic, ancient secrets and dangerous enemies as he embarks on an epic journey across the kingdom of Alagaesia. Along the way, Eragon encounters memorable characters including the wise and mysterious Brom, the fascinating Murtagh and Saphira, one of the most iconic dragons in children's fantasy literature. Krish shares why he loved the classic fantasy feel of the story, his favourite spoiler free moments and the surprising fact about Christopher Paolini that made the book even more inspiring. As part of the show, Krish reflects on an unforgettable weekend at the St Austell Festival of Children's Literature in Cornwall, where he travelled all the way from Paris to interview authors live on stage in front of a festival audience. Krish talks about meeting authors and illustrators including Jamie Littler, Laura Ellen Anderson, J.J.Arcanjo, Helen Peters, Julie Sykes, Yuval Zommer, Maudie Smith and Guy Bass, and shares what it was like to be part of one of the UK's most exciting celebrations of children's books and reading. Listeners will also hear a live interview recorded at the festival with bestselling Crookhaven author J. J. Arcanjo. And finally, Krish reveals how a quick stop at a bookshop in UK on the journey back to Paris somehow resulted in almost twenty five new books being added to his summer reading pile! Follow J. J.
