Last week, Ben had an idea for a new feature - Author Spotlight. These posts will highlight one of our favorite authors and provide a short overview of their work. We thought it would be a great addition to Family Reads and before the day was over, Ben had written the first one. Enjoy!
Name: Christopher Paolini
Date of Birth: November 17, 1983
Birthplace: Southern California
Best Known For: The Inheritance Cycle
Past Books: Eragon (Inheritance Book 1) and Eldest (Inheritance Book 2)
Current Books: The last two books of the Inheritance Cycle.
Though he is only 24 years old, Christopher Paolini has already produced two books, and is working on a third and fourth. These books, Eragon and Eldest, have already become modern classics. Paolini's novels are very descriptive and nail-biting.
The Inheritance Cycle follows the adventures of a young boy named Eragon and his dragon, Saphira. Also included are the secretive Murtagh the elf, Arya, and many other wonderful characters.
What's incredibly amazing about this author is that so far all of his books have been over 450 word-packed pages. Paolini is one of the best young adult authors out there, and I cannot wait for this author's next piece of art.
