I think the best books I've read is the inheritance cycle. It's about a boy named Eragon who finds what he thinks is a large blue stone, but turns out to be a dragon egg. The egg hatches, the dragon grows,and they form a bond that changes his life for ever. Eragon's farm is attacked and his uncle (who raised him) is murderd .He and his dragon, decide to go after the men who killed his uncle,who wer men of the empire.they jorney and meet up with the rebbel group and try to over throw the empire.
