A book review by Kaleb
I read my first Narnia book. It was The Lion, The Witch
and The Wardrobe. It was mostly a pretty good book to read. The book starts
with a war in London where Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy lived. Their mom sends
them away because of air-raids. They go to this big house where the Professor
and a lady named Mrs. Macready live.
The children decided to explore the house; they found and
empty room with nothing but a wardrobe. (A wardrobe is a closet that you can
move around from room to room or house to house) Lucy stayed behind and she
went inside the wardrobe. She found a new land and met a friend named Mr.
Tumnus (he was a faun). This was the beginning of lots of adventures. Soon all
the children were in Narnia, they met friends like Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, Father
Christmas, other Narnia animals and Aslan. They fought against the White Witch
and her followers. In the end Aslan gave his life for Edmond. My favorite part
was when the stone table broke and Aslan came back to life. He said:
“It means,” said Aslan, “that though the Witch knew the
Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she didn’t not know. Her
knowledge goes back only to the dawn of Time. But if she could have looked a
little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she
would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a
willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead,
the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards”
This is a good book, you should read it!
