The Pevensies find themselves back at the railway station where the adventure began, just as the train to Susan and Lucy's boarding school pulls up into the station.

Reaction

I enjoyed when I read it because this story make me imagine what is happening in this story. The story is making me curious and guessing what will happen for next.

I would read another book by the same author although its make me read hard because books of C.S Lewis.

I will recommend this book to my classmate especially who likes reading fiction, mystery or something like that. From this book they will get difference experiences when they read it.

CHARACTERS and ISSUES

There are 14 characters of this book, but I interested with Lucy characters, she is the young princes of Narnia and she is also the one that always find Aslan.

I like part of this story is when Aslan make the three live and attack the Telmarine, and make the river week up and Sopespian afloat.

The large issues are about adventure.
