How old do you think Lucy is in LWW and PC? According to the "Official Timeline" she is 8 and 9. But in PC she is going to boarding school for the first time which would make her 11 there and 10 in LWW.

Personally I think the latter makes more sense, otherwise we have too big a gap between SC and TLB. The timeline Lewis wrote is interesting, but when it contradicts the books I prefer to go by the books
 
I am almost certain that the Lucy was supposed to be more like ten in the LWW, if you notice, they got Edmund's age wrong too, he is only a year older than Lucy in the book.
 
Yeah, I've got my questions about that timeline. It could have been written by Lewis, but there are too many contradictions in it for my comfort. I'm afraid I join the late Kathyrn Lindskoog in her skepticism of anything that's come uncorroborated through the hands of Walter Hooper.

My guess is that Lucy would be 8 or 9 in Lion, making her 9 or 10 in Caspian.
