Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan
5.0
Narnia was all you really had to say to bring me on board, but then you added to that Patti Callahan's gift for writing compelling characters and set it not just in Oxford but in part in CS Lewis' home, the Kilns, I knew it was going to be an all-in-one-gulp, who-needs-sleep read.
Megs' love for her bedridden younger brother George compels her to uncomfortably reach out to Professor Lewis (because he's at Oxford and you are, so of course you know him, right?), and to go beyond the dependable mathematics she loves into the squirrely, unpredictable world of storytelling as she recounts Jack's accounts to George. This book is for lovers of Narnia, for people who read the authors' notes to find out where that idea started, for those who have ever had a sibling they don't understand, and for those who just wish they had more time with the people they love.
