 Eragon ~ Christopher Paolini
Paolini started Eragon at the age of 15, which is impressive because the novel is rather intricate and has a detailed plot, much like the LOTR series.
For instance, instead of staying simple (such as “Eragon felt a headache coming on”), Paolini embellishes sickeningly (“A headache threatened to drown his thoughts in hot throbs”).
The reader is told what a spectacular fighter Eragon is, but almost every fight ends up with him being knocked unconscious and waking up in captivity.

 Christopher Paolini, Eragon (Inheritance, Book One)
Eragon (pronounced EHR-uh-gahn, thanks to Paolini's pronunciation guide at the end of the book) is a farm boy growing up on the outskirts of a small country town.
Eragon has a good heart and a strong will (not to mention a conscience in the form of his huge blue dragon Saphira), so readers can be sure that he will ultimately make the correct choices, but how he goes about making those choices had me drawn in from the moment the dragon's egg cracked.
Their bonding scenes are just adorable and made me smile (okay, I even said "how cute," I'm a sucker for baby dragons.) Paolini has a way with character interaction, and it shows in the friendship between a boy and his dragon.
