Recently, I read a book called “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe”. It is the sequel to “The Magician’s nephew*”. It is also a popular movie. This book is written by C.S. Lewis. It has 198 pages. It was published by Harper Collins in 1950. It is a great book.
This book is about four siblings named Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter who went to an old professor’s house to escape World War 2. Lucy, the youngest, found a wardrobe and went in it which led her to the world of Narnia where Lucy became friends with a fawn (a magical creature). The fawn told her all about Narnia which was very cold because the witch cast a spell to make it always winter.
Lucy went back and told her siblings but they didn’t believe her. One day magic brought them all into the wardrobe and they found the world of Narnia. Lucy led them to the fawn’s house and found the fawn was arrested for not capturing Lucy. You see, the witch told the fawn to capture humans because legend says two boys and two girls would rule over Narnia one day and take the witch’s place. They went on a mission to rescue the fawn and found many problems along the way like Edmund’s betrayal, a lion dying and a fight against the witch and her army.
My favourite part of this book is when Lucy found Narnia because I read the first book of the series and I was glad they could enter Narnia again. I changed my feelings from curious to mad when Edmund betrayed Lucy, Peter and Susan for candy. I would also change this part of the book for not betraying his siblings because siblings are more important than candy. Even though there was more adventure after the betrayal, I would want Edmund to get captured by the witch instead of betraying his siblings. This book surprised me because it was the first one written but second in the series.
I would really recommend this book because it was full of exciting adventure and I really enjoyed it. I recommend this book 7+ because it has some death and violence. I would give this book five stars. This book was a wonderful book.
Esther, I like your book report. Actually I like C.S. Lewis too. "The Chronicles of Narnia" is a series of seven novels for kids, and this series have been sold over 100 million copies.
ReplyDeleteFrom this book report, it seems that you have already completed two novels of his series, keep on the good work :-)
thanks Esther for your details-laden book report. i have watched the movie, so all the beautiful movie scenes--especially the ones in the snow white world--come back to me as i go along your book report. Esther, you are an avid fun of adventure book right? i would really like to get your opinion on the following question: do you prefer reading an adventure book or watching its movie on screen?
