A great retelling of a classic Maori legend. My daughter (3) will often request "Maui who slows the sun" as one of her favourite bedtime stories. We will often read it multiple times at once! 31 pages every time we read it
One of my favourite stories as I child, I am thrilled to be able to share it with my own children, and my 3 year old daughter seems to love it even more than I did! I have read this story to her so many times that I think I could recite it by heart. 32 pages each time we read through.
Eragon, by Christopher Paolini, is a captivating fantasy novel that follows the journey of a young farm boy named Eragon who discovers a mysterious dragon egg. As the dragon hatches, Eragon is thrust into a world of magic, ancient lore, and a brewing conflict. The narrative weaves elements of adventure and self-discovery, while pulling readers into a detailed universe. Paolini's descriptive language and well-developed characters contribute to the novel's appeal, making it an engaging read. With a mix of action, intrigue, and heartfelt moments, Eragon sets the stage for an enthralling series. I am looking forward to revisiting the world in the 2nd entry of the series.
