{He holds the secret that can end the world.

Join the Eragon Club

On the first Friday of every month at 3:30 p.m., hang out with other teens and listen to Eragon being read aloud. Our expert reader, Miss G, who does voices and accents with great panache, has promised to read Eldest and Brisinger after we finish Eragon. Personally, I'd like to hear her read through Lord of the Rings.

Even if you've read it, it comes alive in a different way when you listen to it being read. Plus, you can discuss it with friends afterwards!

We will usually, but not always, have cookies or some sort of sustenance for you to enjoy while listening.
