No way—Nothing's better than Eragon

I was given a challenge last week by one of the kids in my writing class.

It went something like this: 

Him: "Do you like Eragon?"

Me: "Meh."

Him: "No way. Eragon is the best. It's like in my top favorite of all time books."

Me: "That's awesome. But I bet I can find books for you that will knock Eragon off its throne of power."

Him: "No way."

Me: "Yes way."

Him: "Bring it on."

Me: "Oh, it's coming."

So the time needs to come, and it needs to come now. Here's my list so far of books that I think he will like even better than ERAGON (he also liked Mysterious Benedict Society, to give you an idea of his preferences):

THE SCREAMING STAIRCASE

THE AMULET OF SAMARKAND

HEROES OF THE VALLEY

MAIRELON THE MAGICIAN

THE TALES OF UMBER
