Brisingr, the third book in the series that started with Eragon, is riding high. It’s the number one book all over the world. How would you like to own a copy?

The Boys, Blokes, Books blog has two to give away.

To win Brisingr, just tell us your favourite book that has a dragon somewhere in the story. It could be the Eragaon series. It could be something else. You choose.

Entries close Thursday 13 November.

Meanwhile, click here to see author Christopher Paolini (right) read from Brisingr.

Last night saw the launch of the Boys, Blokes, Books and Bytes toolkit. The 28 page booklet sets out how schools, libraries and families can work together to put on your own bbbb program.

Professor Glyn Davis, Vice Chancellor of Melbourne University launched the toolkit at Experimedia in the State Library of Victoria. Professor Davis warmly endorsed the bbbb style.

Over the next few weeks we will be out and about across Victoria talking to teachers and librarians. Click here for dates and locations.

The toolkit will be posted to all Victorian schools in the coming weeks.
