A bit hard to get Josie’s read on this one, but Jerrett was very involved throughout. His biggest takeaways were that the Witch liked her sin, and that Aslan being kicked and jeered at caused him to be really sad.

We were able to have several conversations about Jesus, and I’m looking forward to continuing this series together to see what else is revealed for their hearts.

This is way more fantasy coded than the previous book. It has a clear objective in the storyline what makes for a wonderful children’s story.

I do find it funny that if you compare it with the movie the characters have way more depth in them. It one of the view examples when the movie has more details than the book has.

So you think this is a "story for children?" Think again. It can awaken your spirits as you read about the adventures of four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, as they go into a wardrobe only to find the new world, Narnia. They are staying with an older professor outside of London during WWII.

The story is a big part of Patti Callahan's book, "Once Upon A Wardrobe" where an 8 year old boy, George, wants to know where Narnia came from. He has just read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and asks his older sister, Megs, to inquire from the famous professor and author at Oxford, CS Lewis, to get the scoop. He figures she can do this for him as that's where she attends college. The young brother has cancer and she agrees as she loves him dearly. Both books are highly recommended but it helps to read "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" first. It's a super easy read and may also be enjoyed by the young ones.

Enjoy the ride.

I found this novel kind of boring. I thought I might find it so since it was originally made for children but I’m still giving it a good review for other reasons. Since Greta Gerwig is set to direct her own Narnia adaptation and I hadn’t read or watched any of the movies I decided to start now. I talked to my mother about if I’d find it interesting and she said she read them when she was in high school. We’ll, with my brief knowledge of Narnia I knew it to be an allegory of Christianity and I asked my mom who was her favorite sibling, she said there’s more characters than just the siblings and the books only get better so I shouldn’t worry about being bored. Her favorite character isn’t in this novel though she said she liked Aslan, I asked if it was because he’s God and, to my surprise she answered, “yes.” I’m not ultra religious but I find the story to be emotional in the way it represents faith. When the girls grabbed onto Aslan’s hair I was just in awe. The description of the children’s emotions and confusion, I can’t describe how I feel about it all… I will continue the series.
